David R. Dewalle
Dave Dewalle was born and raised in St.
Louis Missouri where my early interest in outdoors grew out
of Boy Scouting and fishing and hunting mostly with my
father, uncles and grandmother. In those early
years his experiences with fly fishing were limited to
catching pumpkinseeds and bass in Ozark streams.
Later he pursued natural resources training by
earning degrees in forestry at Mizzou and later in watershed
management at Colorado State. After
coming to State College to take a position at Penn State in
the Ecosystem Science and Management Department, Dave’s
interest in trout fishing and Trout Unlimited projects have
gradually developed. During hia 38 -year
career at Penn State, Dave taught watershed management
courses and conducted research on impacts of land-use on
water quality. Recent experiences studying
water quality data for Spring Creek and serving on the
Spring Creek Watershed Atlas committee enhanced his interest
in helping serve Spring Creek Chapter of Trout Unlimited in
a more formal way.
