James (Jim) E. Leisenring is named one of the towering figures in American wet-fly fishing and the author of the classic book “The Art of Tying the Wet Fly and Fishing the Flymph”. In the late 80’s the Swedish fly fisher and illustrator Gunnar Johnson published his book ”Flymfer & andre mjukhacklede flugor together with Anders Forsling – a book about soft hackled flies in a Scandinavian point of view compared to Leisenrings bible on soft hackles. In this book a tying method is described and shown in a pattern called Emma. We once again have our own Lars Chr. Bentsen behind the vise to demonstrate this simple fly using only few materials in this video – all kept in the historical point of view.
