I've met him several times, fishing the northern NJ beaches in Spring and Fall. Nice guy and very talented fly tyer. I didn't hear about this and hope he recovers soon and fully.

Thanks for posting this. He was a legend. His flies will live on forever as they remain some of the staples for chasing northeast saltwater gamefish. R.I.P., Bob.

I came here to post that I met Bob a few times, mostly at shows. He was always kind and was willing to help me and my wife with fly tying techniques. Sad to hear about this, condolences to his family.

The Shady Rest is located on RT 9 in Berkeley Township NJ, not Seaside Heights as mentioned in the article. Family run, still open.
