    It's probably to dress the leader for about 12" behind a dry fly to get it to sink under the water while leaving the fly floating. Stops the fish being spooked by the line.

    As pullandbang said its to sink the leader slightly so as not to spook the fish. If the leader gets stuck in the surface film it can spook trout into not taking a dry fly, but if the leader is slightly below the surface the fly looks more natural.
