28.1. Competitors may use floating or sinking artificial flies.

28.2. All hooks must be connected directly to the leader/tippet/dropper.

28.3. Weighted flies are permitted, provided the weight is hidden within the dressing and does not extend past the bend or eye of the hook. The maximum length of added weight (w) is the distance from the eye of the hook to the farthest point of the bend in the hook. A single visible bead, not more than 4 mm maximum dimension, is also permitted. Painting alone does not constitute dressing.

28.4. If one fly is used, the length and width of the dressed fly will be at the discretion of the competitor. (Articles 28.2 & 28.3 apply)

28.5. If more than 1 fly is used on a leader, all weighted flies must comply with this measuring gauge

28.6. A maximum of three flies is permitted which must not be closer to each other than 50 (fifty) cm, measured eye to eye, hanging freely. The number of flies allowed will be specified in Rule Modifications.

28.7. All flies must be attached to the leader in such a way that neither they nor their droppers move or slide along the leader material.

28.8. All flies must be dressed on barbless single hooks, tandem flies are not allowed.

28.9. If the equipment used and/or flies used are assessed by the controller as repeatedly causing excessive harm to the fish, the use of such flies/equipment may be disallowed by the controller (after agreement by the Sector Judge).

28.10. Attractor chemicals and the use of light emitters in flies are forbidden.

28.11. Appendages that alter the original concept of an artificial fly or bodies made of moulded/shaped plastic, moulded/shaped silicone or moulded/shaped rubber are banned (moulded/shaped imitations of worms, eggs, baitfish, maggots, twisters…). Rubber or extruded round material, exceeding the bend, shank or eye of the hook is not allowed with exception of maximal diameter 0,53 mm used for leg imitations (diameter shall be checked with measuring gauge unstretched).

28.12. Moulded, extruded or shaped solid part of the fly, made of any floating or aircontaining material, are not allowed as a visible strike indicator. (Bung)
