The FFI Gulf Coast Council is excited to announce the addition of Lisa Lowman to the GCC Board of Directors. Lisa brings a wealth of knowledge, experience and passion for fly fishing to the board. She has also agreed to serve as our liaison for the FFI Women Connect program.
Born and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida, Lisa currently lives just outside New Orleans in Slidell, Louisiana with her husband and daughter. She picked up a fly rod in 2012 and never looked back. What started as a curiosity quickly turned into a lifelong passion for chasing fish, exploring wild places, and sharing the joy of fly fishing with others.
Since joining the U.S. Coast Guard in 2014, she has balanced military service with a strong commitment to community and conservation. Lisa has been an active FFI member since 2015 and a dedicated volunteer with Casting for Recovery since 2017 —supporting women in their recovery journeys through the healing power of fly fishing.
Whether helping lead co-ed or women’s-only casting clinics, Lisa brings patience, positivity, and a genuine love for teaching. She is especially passionate about making the sport more inclusive and creating welcoming spaces on the water for anglers of all backgrounds.
Let’s join in welcoming Lisa to our council leadership!
