It's available at a bunch of online stores that carry Hareline fly tying products. I think I got mine from Barlow's. If you have a small fly shop nearby they can probably order it for you too. The full name is Hareline UV Galaxy Mop Chenille. Some places have different pages for the solid and mottled variety.
The bluegills really like the tan color too. Looks just like a grub if you cut it really short.
Wapsi's mop chenille is different. I haven't seen it in person but I don't think it has the reflective fibers.
Don't worry, catch crappie.
