I just ran across a pattern that refers to a method of dubbing a body
credited to Jim Leisenring. The pattern is a flymph. It looks very
similar to other soft hackles but the Leisenring reference has me a bit
stumped. Is this another name for a dubbing loop? Sorry if this is a
naive question, hope you don't mind helping out a newbie.

Pretty much. Leisenring used to create all of his dubbed fly bodies
ahead of time. He would spin the dubbing loop and then save it on a
notched piece of cardboard until needed for a given tying session.

Unfortunately, this book is now out of print, but it is outstanding.
Buy it if you can find it used. One of my personal fly fishing bibles.
