Project Healing Waters (PHW) has teamed up with the family of legendary saltwater fly tier Bob Popovics for a memorial auction. The auction’s proceeds will benefit PHW’s mission of supporting veterans through fly fishing.
The auction starts May 11 at 10am Eastern, and will close on May 16 at 10pm Eastern. All auction items are available to view online.
PHW writes that this auction is a great way to support both Popovics’ legacy, and the mission of PHW that Popovics believed in.
“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.”
A great variety of reels and flies are for sale, and each item sold will benefit veterans who take part in fly fishing to deal with the trauma of war.
