I always thought dapping had nothing to do with the wind bouncing the fly up and down like some have implied here. Just thought it referred to the fly going up and down on the surface of the water. So you made me curious and I looked it up. My dictionary defines dapping as:
fishing by letting the fly bob lightly on the water without letting the line touch the water, Origin mid 17 century, symbolic of a flicking motion, similar to dab
