You saw him in one of our Fish Schtick Video Shorts last year at the FFR Show. Dr. Aaron Adams is head of research for Bonefish & Tarpon Trust. He works to preserve inshore game fish like Bonefish, Tarpon, Snook and Permit from the mangroves to the marl flats. Aaron is a scientist, author, and avid fly angler who is helping recreational anglers make the connection between scientific research and what’s happening on the water. Working out of the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Florida, Dr. Adams is publicizing issues – and the solutions – through projects like Pirates of the Flats airing now on ESPN 2.

Bill Klyn is the marketing director for Patagonia. Without reservation, we can say that Patagonia is one of the absolute top brands associated with social and environmental responsibility, not to mention incredibly good products for getting out into the environment. Today Bill joins us on The Fish Schtick because he’s also the mastermind behind a new project called Pirates of the Flats, debuting ESPN2 in January 2010 in partnership with the Bonefish and Tarpon Trust.
