In my vast experience of fly fishing (almost 7 months now) I learned the first fly tied on was bigger and called the attractor. The next fly, tied on the bend of the first hook, was smaller and called the dropper. I took a class at a local high school and that was how the instructor named things. He taught us nymph fishing techniques so maybe dry flies have a different vocabulary.
