Project Healing Waters is honored to join the Popovics family in celebrating the life and legacy of Bob Popovics, one of the most influential saltwater fly tiers of all time. A beloved husband, father, friend, and Veteran, Bob has a positive impact on everyone he met.

The Project Healing Waters - Bob Popovics Memorial Auction will open on Sunday, May 11 at 10:00 AM EST and close on Saturday, May 16 at 10:00 PM EST.

Celebrate Bob’s life and legacy through this special online auction featuring his hand-tied saltwater flies and personally engraved reels, each a work of art carrying his craft and spirit forward.

A proud U.S. Marine Corps Veteran, Bob found healing through fly tying after returning from Vietnam. In that same spirit, all proceeds will support Project Healing Waters in healing America’s Veterans through the therapeutic art of fly fishing.
