I remember doing that ever since I started fly fishing back when I was 14. If I had left the fly in a nearly sunk condition I would have been fishing an emerger. Why didn't it click in that that could be an effective way to fish an almost dry fly. Habit and doing what I was told I guess. Just a thought.
