At their August meeting, the FFI Gulf Coast Council board of directors unanimously approved the appointment of George Norton to the board. George fills the seat vacated by Jeff Deuschle. George will also serve as Secretary on the GCC Board.
George lives in Pensacola, Florida, with his wife Janie. He’s an active member of the Fly Fishers of Northwest Florida, serving on their board as Secretary. Previously, George and his family lived in Baton Rouge and Little Rock, where he was a member of the Red Stick Fly Fishers and Arkansas Fly Fishers, respectively. As a member of RSFF, George served on their board as Warmwater Chair and originated and organized the club’s annual outings to Lake Concordia.
George is a well-traveled fly angler, having fished across North America from Alaska to Argentina. His current passion is fishing the emerald waters of the northwest Florida coast for a wide variety of species, from bonita to bull reds.
We are very excited to have someone of George’s experience. He will be a strong voice of representation for the eastern sector of our council. Please welcome George to the GCC board!
