What is Fly Scene Swiss Straw?
Fly Scene Swiss Straw is a fine synthetic material that closely imitates the translucent wing cases and wings of many aquatic insects. Its flexible structure makes it easy to shape around the hook while adding natural depth and translucency to the finished fly.
It can be used on its own or combined with dubbing, flash materials and UV resin to create highly realistic fly patterns. Swiss Straw is ideal for nymph wing cases, transparent dry fly wings, segmented bodies and countless other applications where subtle realism is important.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDSFor the most realistic effect, apply Fly Scene Swiss Straw over a natural dubbing body and finish it with a thin coat of UV resin or clear varnish. This creates a durable, slightly translucent wing case or body with natural sheen and beautifully defined segmentation. |
