He arrives at the lodge with a ridiculously large amount of equipment, all of which was provided by Cadwalader. He does not know how to handle any of it and Abigail's lessons are not very successful, one ending with him almost drowning when he falls out of a boat. During another lesson Easy tells them that famous fishing champion Joe Killroy will arrive and enter the tournament. They think about ways for Willoughby to get out of the tournament and conclude that a broken arm would be a good excuse. So Abigail and Easy put an improvised cast on Willoughby's arm, only to find out that Killroy actually had an accident and has a cast himself. So they ineptly saw off Willoughby's cast, to his horror.
