Knowing what to tie on
The hardest part of fly fishing isn't casting; it's knowing what to tie on.
Every box ships with a waterproof field card that walks you through the decision in two minutes: what to look for at the water, which fly to tie on, and how to use it. The full field guide on the site goes deeper.
