It is with the most heartfelt sadness that we announce the untimely passing of BTT board member Dr. Jon Ain. Not only was Jon one of fly fishing’s top permit anglers, he was also their staunchest advocate in the world of conservation. Permit could not ask for a greater champion. His passion for permit fishing was immense, and matched only by his concern for their long-term well being. It will be a huge challenge for Bonefish & Tarpon Trust to fill the space left by Jon – as a champion of permit conservation and a friend to all. In his honor, a Jon Ain Memorial Fund has been set up in his honor by Bonefish & Tarpon Trust, with all donations going to research and conservation of permit. Donations can be made online here, or by check (mail to: 24 Dockside Lane, PMB 83, Key Largo, FL 33037). If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us info@bonefishtarpontrust.org.
