Help Wanted for Spring Assault on Wilbur
Flyfishing Stories by Bob Lawless

I am taking applications for the following positions which will be available next spring. Signing up early will help in the final selection of personnel. We will be taking a school bus and towing a large trailer for the gear. How long we will be in Wyoming is anybody's guess. We will be leaving as soon as ice is off the river.

Needed: Chef, sous chef, fry cook, dishwashingperson, waiters (2),
wine steward, beer tapperson, cartographer, guitar player, harmonica players (2), accordianist, fly tyers (3), footpersons (2), chauffeurs (2), oiler, pet manager, dog handler, parrot supervisors (2), toughs (4), bozos (3), prizefighters (2), ruffians (6), and assorted others for jobs as assigned. State qualifications and give references.

Note: as soon as word arrives that the river is starting to melt, we will hold a week long seminar in job descriptions, duties, chain of command, etc. This will probably be held on the Bainbridge ferry or some other suitable place

RED ALERT--WE HAVE BEEN WARNED!

TOO ALL MEMBERS CONTEMPLATING SIGNING ON FOR AN EXPEDITION TO WYOMING IN SEARCH OF WILBUR, THE HATED 20lbs. BROWN TROUT:

Be aware that someone on this forum has ratted us out. The Wyoming Fly Fishing members and their president have asked that we not enter the state of Wyoming without their permission. They have demanded a complete and detailed list of all weapons, including those persons who might be skilled in Karate. They have insisted that such weapons and persons be surrendered to them immediately.
To this, I have said, "NUTS."

The governor of Wyoming, unfortunately, is a member of their forum, and he goes by the name of ABOMB. Maybe we should take him seriously. I dunno. But, in light of this obvious attempt to circumvent our rights as fly fisherpersons, I am assembling a group of 100 mounted soldiers to accompany us. They will not be on the bus, for they will travel under separate cover in camo colored box cars via Great Northern R.R.

Also, they are very hot about our having the intials WFF since their intials are the same. They have challenged us to a fight to see who will own the rights to WFF. I have responded that we will offer up Chris as our champion, plus a prizefighter. Winner takes all. I hope the members are with me on this.
I must report that I am frightened and in need of some solid pledges of support from the members.

FOR WASHY EYES ONLY. WYOMINGNITES MAY NOT READ THIS.

Update on the "Assault on Wilbur ". Sadly, due to the war, the assault on Wilbur will have to be postponed until later. All commandos, ruffians, thugs, scum, cooks, soldiers, killers, thieves, petty criminals, felons, illegal immigrants, sloths, business people, young toughs, and reformed drunks and addicts and field commanders who have been standing by for the assault are now ordered to stand down until further notice. But we will get him someday; I promise you this, my dearest and only friends.
Bob Lawless, head potentate.
