I bet fish emulsion fertilizer would work as well. I mixed some with water and fertilized my figs. I had flies show up within minutes. It might not last as long as fish heads, especially diluted, though. However, it would be inconspicuous.
If I put fish heads in a bucket in my paw paw trees, the raccoons would climb them and break a lot of branches. I only have a few trees, so I'll stick to hand pollination.
Thanks for the idea, I thought I had got good natural pollination in my patch, but I was wrong. Will try "fish heads in a bucket" next year.

Will any fly pollinate pawpaws? Or does it have to be a special kind?
Have you tried using cow manure for polinating?
fish heads, fish heads, eat them up yum!
Once they get to 15 years you pull them out and put another one or would you let a new one grow from a sucker and graft it?
I get flies without trying 😂. My yard must be nasty enough for them to hang out all year long.
