Coffee Bean Beetle





Hook Dry fly hook
Thread Brown
Body Cofee bean
Legs Rubber legs
Coat clear enamel


Use a coffee bean and with a triangular file cut a groove in the bottom of the bean.

Spray the bean with clear enamel.

Wrap thread on the hook shank and tie in rubber hackle legs. Coat the thread with zap-a-gap and then press the groove in the bean down on it.
