The Leisenring Lift

Developed by Jim Leisenring, one of the great Pennsylvania wet fly fishermen, this method takes the down and across and mend method and adds a twist.

Leisenring understood that the rising motion of the artificial nymph looks natural to the fish. As the fly, originally presented above the fish, reached the proper location, the fisherman, by lifting the rod, would impart an upward movement to the fly. This, as with other downstream methods, is particularly effective when fishing caddis pupa, which, you will remember, rise very quickly from the bottom to the surface. The technique is very simple but very effective.

Although the various downstream methods will catch an ample amount of fish, it is the upstream techniques, once learned by the angler, that, overall, will be the most productive. Cast upstream, the nymph imitation more closely resembles a natural insect.
