It's all been done... hasn't it? I guess it's only a matter of materials that change. The coffee fly I use is all natural color (many brown shades and near black) that way when its fished in fast water and flipping around and tumbling it still looks like a brown beetle. I haven't had a problem using gel or standard super glue for construction of these simple but effective flys. These float like a cork!

 

Hook - dry fly large gape 10-16

Thread - black or brown

Hackle - two turns palmered forward brown or black & trimmed on top Body - Coffee bean super glued on top of all of this.

 

BTW - The killer fly on my last outing was the Lafontaine foam ant and foam beetle - photos to come...
