How to tie it
Step 1: Pass the tippet through the hook eye from underneath and bring the tag behind the standing line.
Step 2: Cross the tag over the standing line and push it through the bottom loop, making a figure eight.
Step 3: Take the tag around the top loop twice, passing it through from the back each time.
Step 4: Wet it, pull the tag gently to close the coils, then pull the fly and standing line until it seats. Trim the tag.
