Tom Cwynar is a writer/editor for the Conservationist who often writes about fishing Missouri waters. Tom said he has a variety of interests, but that he generally likes the outdoors more than the indoors and activity more than passivity. He is currently trying to teach his new little white boat to catch fish.
Joel Vance is the author of Down Home Missouri (When Girls Were Scary and Basketball Was King) and six other books. He retired in 1990 after 21 years with the Conservation Department. He and his wife of 50 years live near Russellville with six Brittanies, four Labs, and peace and quiet.
