Twist the tag end around the line five or six times.
Step 3
Back through the loop
Bring the tag end back through the small loop by the eye.
Step 4
Through the big loop
Tuck it through the big loop you just made. That is the improved part.
Step 5

Skip a box
Skip the next box before the cut-off and nothing is sent or charged.
Pause for the close season
Pause your plan for one to three months and pick it up again when the river opens.
Cancel any time
Cancel before the next cut-off and no further boxes are sent. Your knot cards stay yours (sample).

FAQ
Questions before your first box
Cannot find your answer? Call (555) 017-4426 or email [email protected].
Is this a subscription?
Plans are made to repeat, but recurring boxes and payments need a WooCommerce subscriptions plugin on your store. Without one, each box is a single order you place yourself.
Can I skip, pause or cancel?
With a subscriptions plugin, yes: skip the next box, pause your plan or cancel from your account before the cut-off. The cut-off in this demo is five days before dispatch (sample).
How do you match the flies to my water?
You tell us whether you fish rivers and streams, stillwater or both, and we follow the hatch calendar for that month. The calendar in this demo is a sample for a temperate trout river.
Do I need a fishing licence?
Fishing licence note (placeholder): most waters need a licence or permit. Add the rules for your region here.
What hook sizes are in the box?
Usually sizes 10 to 20, depending on the season. Each fly card in the box lists the hook size (sample).
