In order to dap (traditionally) you need wind to position the fly on the water and help make the fly bob on the surface. In Tenkara you are casting in much the same way you cast a western fly rod. The difference is you have a fixed amount of line. With that fixed line you can deliver your fly with pin point accuracy, something you can't do when you "dap."
