ROLLA, MO, November 23, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Bob Willis has been inducted into Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Widely renowned for his knowledge of freshwater fish, Mr. Willis has thrived as the author of four books related to fly fishing in various regions of the globe. He initially garnered recognition in 2013 as the author of "Trout Adventures North America," which documents his experiences with catching more than 25 species and subspecies of salmonid in multiple U.S. states including Montana and Alaska. Mr. Willis subsequently found further success as the author of 2015's "Trout Adventures Fly Fishing the Far East" and 2016's "Trout Adventures Fly Fishing the Islands of Europe," both of which chronicle his mission to locate famously unique and elusive marine animals such as the Siberian taimen and the white-spotted char.
Prior to his literary career, Mr. Willis excelled as a staff officer with the U.S. Forest Service. During this period, he participated in the aforementioned agency's acquisition of a southeast portion of Mark Twain National Forest known as Greer Springs in 1993. Mr. Willis had previously worked for ConocoPhillips after serving in the Vietnam War as a member of the United States Army.

His passion for adventure and fishing has created books that lead travelers and those that like to fish to all of the rivers, streams, and lakes the world has to offer. He attributes a great deal of his success to a talent for storytelling. In the future, Mr. Willis will publish a series of articles on the beauty and fishing opportunities on the rivers of the Ozarks called "A River Walk". Another book will be released called "The Last Buffalo in Kansas", which will chronicle his family's history, beginning with his great-grandfather's immigration from England to the United States in 1853.
