Stone Creek™ H & L Variant The Stone Creek™ H & L Variant is a classic attractor dry fly that has earned a legendary reputation among trout anglers for its versatility and fish-catching ability. Designed to imitate a variety of mayflies, caddisflies, and general aquatic insects, the H & L Variant remains one of the most dependable searching patterns ever developed. The "H & L" stands for "House & Lot," a name tied to Colorado fly tier George Coffman. According to fly-fishing lore, the pattern was so successful that the flies he sold reportedly earned him enough money to buy a house and lot. Whether fact or legend, the name has become firmly established in fly-fishing history. Featuring a buoyant deer hair body, highly visible upright wings, and a bushy hackle, the H & L Variant rides high on the water and performs exceptionally well in riffles, runs, pocket water, and broken currents where visibility and flotation are essential. Whether used as a searching pattern or during active hatches, the H & L Variant consistently produces trout and deserves a place in every dry fly box.
