Postfly is a monthly subscription box filled with premium flies and other fly fishing gear. Each regular box comes with seven to ten premium-quality flies, a trinket or accessory, and a guide to use with the included flies. The value of each box varies, but you can expect to save at least 25% compared to buying the same gear from a retail outlet. All boxes are shipped on the 20th of each month.
This premium fly fishing subscription box includes products that might help you catch more fish on your next trip to the water.
They commonly include flies, tying tools, and trinkets as well as a guide on exactly how to use each included item.
Each box is specifically tailored to your region and the current season. You select the type of fish you most commonly go after during the sign-up process. You can change your fish type at any time. These changes will be applied to your next month's box.
Upgrade from the regular box to the guide series box for double the flies and premium accessories, all based on your preferred fish type. As the name implies, this upgraded box is originally designed for fly fishing guides and other serious anglers.
To sign up, you start by selecting the type of fish you want to catch:

You then create an account and enter your payment details. You can log into your account at any time to change the “type of fish” for the next month’s box.

It’s easy to cancel your monthly fly fishing subscription box at any time after the first month.
Just log into your subscription account and click “cancel.”
Note that by canceling a 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month subscription early, you simply state you don’t want the subscription to automatically renew. You will still receive the remaining boxes (1 per month) until the end of the original subscription plan.
The company alternatively gives you the option to “pause” your subscription until you choose to start it back up.
“Pause” is a great option for anglers in cold weather climates that get frozen out during winter.
All orders ship out on the 20th of each month.
Those that place their first order after the 15th of the month won’t receive their first monthly subscription box until after the 20th of the following month.
It’s easy to switch up your subscription type at any time.
Just log into your online account and select a different “fish type” for your next box.
With the monthly subscription, you will receive this “fish type” in your next month’s box as long as you make the changes before the 15th of the current month.

Yes, the company currently offers shipping on their monthly fly fishing boxes to locations around the world.
Postfly is based out of Newbury, Massachusetts.
The company started as a side project in the basement of founder Brian Runnels before growing into the international business it is today.
The business grew out of Brian’s frustration with being an “urban angler.” Living in the city, he found it difficult to find the flying fishing gear he needed and wanted.
So, in 2014, Runnels started designing “the original monthly fly box” filled with premium flies, tying kits, and accessories.
Since then, the company has grown quickly with customers in the top fishing towns around the world. Brian maintains that they still have many of the same subscribers they did when they first opened their doors.
According to Runnels, the company goal is the same as its always been – “to deliver a complete package of everything you need to be successful on the water.”
