More often than not I include an attractor pattern in my team of flies. If I am retrieving my flies fast I generally use one of the bigger attractors such as a fat boy or blob and fish that on the top dropper so that is the first fly fish see as my team is ripped through holding water. Hopefully that gets their attention and whilst they may not close on that attractor it does put them in a position where they may see and take the otherwise less obvious following flies. If I am fishing static or slow I prefer my attractor, generally a squirmy wormy or blob to be on the point so that fish see that. If they don’t want that fly the theory is that fish may be inquisitive enough to have a closer look at it and then may swim up and investigate your other offerings. If I am prospecting and using a range of retrieves from slow to fast I generally prefer a smaller attractor such as a the dunkeld or a tiny blob or even a small slightly flashy bugger or damsel on the middle dropper.
