Swiss straw replacement?

[Harebear]

It seems I'm having a difficult time finding any fly shops in my area that have swiss straw. Does anyone know a good place to get it? Would a craft store carry it or is there a suitable replacement for making wingcases on say a size 12 nymph?

Hi Harebear,

I get my Swiss straw at a local craft store. Take care & ...

You could order it out of one of the catalogs.

For Swiss Straw - Check the handles on any gift bags you have tucked away in your closets; from birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries, etc. Sometimes they'll have paper handles but once in a while you'll find one made from plastic. Hopefully they won't all be red...

I get mine at "Sportsman's Warehouse" in Missoula Montana.

go to the Dollar Store or anyplace that sells "grass skirts" - "hula skirts" - more than a lifetimes worth of swiss straw equivalent
