The construction and the rigging

The basic construction and rigging of the Flying Flash Carpet. The nylon arc holding the flash is tied to the lateral front tube. Eyes can also be glued to this tube. The fly is rigged as a tube fly. You pass the tippet through the lateral tube, then trough a similar extension tube and the tie it to the hook. When you pull the tippet, the fly and hook are pulled together.
Here the hook attached it a single, barbless, but a treble is shown as an alternative.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
