Bob Popovics, hailed by Lefty Kreh as the greatest fly tyer of all time, was an extraordinary innovator of saltwater flies whose designs inspired generations. Beyond his legacy as the creator of flies such as the Bucktail Deceiver, Surf Candy, and Beast Fleye, he was known to have a heart of gold and would share his knowledge and time with anyone who expressed an interest. His greatest joy, besides his family, was to foster a supportive sense of community among fly tyers.<\/p>\n
