Wisconsin Clearwaters Trout Unlimited
Our Team
Peter Jonas
President
I am honored to serve as the president of our chapter. I support our board and members in carrying out our core mission of promoting stream restoration, river corridor maintenance, education and outreach. Being chapter president is rewarding because our board says "yes" to innovative ideas and gets stuff done. In planning our monthly chapter meetings I strive to create a positive and inclusive environment for everyone to learn and grow as anglers and conservationists. I really love fishing.

Past President
My focus is on wise land use and quality ground water. This is sustainable by involving all the interested parties, and is ongoing. I enjoy every day.

Bob Mitchell
Secretary
Bob is retired from a career in long term care services with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and now keeps busy volunteering with TU, and the Ice Age Trail. I enjoy doing restorations particularly vintage fishing rods and reels. Currently I am leaning hard into what has become decades long projects of restoring a 59 pickup truck and 58 Old Town wood and canvas canoe. Other activities such as kayaking, gardening, woodworking, fishing, fishing, and fishing fill out my days. The first trout I caught on a fly was under this log in the picture 54 years ago and sparked my interest in improving trout habitat.
Dale Dahlke
Board Member
Dale is a 35 year TU member. He lives on Wilson Creek and really enjoys teaching others about trout, the environment, and fly fishing. He chairs WCWTU’s Trout In The Classroom (TIC) program.
Matt Wysocki
Board Member
A chapter board member since 2018, Matt organizes the chapter’s stream clearing and tree planting volunteer workdays. He enjoys flyfishing area streams but is also an avid spin fisherman for musky, bass and other gamefish. His favorite fishing is done on small northern Wisconsin lakes in a float tube with a 5 weight flyrod for bass and panfish. More than fishing, however, Matt spends most of his free time gardening and managing a planted prairie on his 10 acre property in western Dunn County.
Tom Sather
Board Member
Tom is a speech therapist and assistant professor at UWEC by day (and Monday night class), and a mediocre fly fisher and fly tyer on the weekends. I got involved in the WCWTU Board to support cold, clean water and all that the resource has provided to many of us who love to get out in the water.
