The resolution designates June 1 of each year as Robert Bob Popovics Day in New Jersey to honor the significant contributions of Robert Bob Popovics to his community and the fishing industry. Born in Trenton and a longtime resident of Seaside Park, Bob served in the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam War and was known for his generosity and community involvement, particularly through his operation of the Shady Rest restaurant in Bayville alongside his wife. He was also a prominent figure in the fishing community, recognized for his expertise as a fly fisherman and master fly tyer, and he founded Pop Fleyes, a custom fly tying and educational company.

The resolution acknowledges Bob's groundbreaking fly designs and his role in establishing the Atlantic Saltwater Flyrodders through community meetings. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing his legacy and contributions to New Jersey and the fishing community, making it fitting to commemorate his memory annually on June 1. The Governor is requested to issue a proclamation each year to mark this day.
