Wann wurde die Technik des Leisenring Lift erstmalig in der Literatur beschrieben?

Sawyer advocated the ‘sink and draw’ method of nymphing where the nymph was allowed to sink and then made to ‘swim’ towards the surface by drawing in the line or slowly lifting the rod tip. This was coupled with the ‘induced take’ where the nymph was made to swim up in front of a fish thereby inducing the fish to take.

"Leisenring Lift"
The angler stands at the edge of a current tongue and casts up and slightly across stream with a short controlled line. After the fly settles to the water, the rod tip is raised to keep only enough line on the water to allow the fly to sink. As the fly moves toward the angler, the rod tip is raised higher in order to prevent excess slack from forming on the water. Once the fly passes the angler's position and heads down current, the rod tip is lowered, keeping pace with current's pull on the line. This raising and lowering motion will keep the fly right on the bottom and drag-free during the length of its drift.
Once the rod has been returned to the horizontal position, it is held still, allowing drag to set in and the currents to swing the line across stream. As a result, the fly will be swept (lifted) to the surface like an ascending natural. This upward sweeping action is the "lift" part of Leisenring's technique.
