I played with Randy’s fly for a few hours today, and not only did I move some things, but I also got a couple of good grabs and this:
Thanks again @clarkman for the net assist. It was crazy being pulled around in an 18’ canoe by a “small” fish.
Musky are frustrating bastards (especially when you can see them!) and I love them!
ADDENDUM: I also can’t help but keep laughing about how a fierce predator has a face like a duck.

All the credit goes to Randy and his fly. I just happened to be on the other end of it. My main contribution was to occasionally yell “Come on you cowards!”
Told you, new fishery = brain dead buck fever.
Thank goodness I only do it on the first fish.

No more than 50'. It really isn't necessary since you can position your boat accordingly. Although the longer you can cast, the more real estate you have if a fish starts following earlier.
Retrieve = constantly changing from slow twitch to walk the dog. I never fish super fast, but sometimes get up into the brisk territory.
I'll get them trolling from time to time, but that's just moving from one spot to another.

Yes you do. Nothing like a freshwater barracuda chasing yer fly. One of the very few thing I miss about living there.

Hell Yeah!!!
I find all the positive responses to these photos rather interesting. The only thing I take away is I don't want to be in a little rubber floaty outcast with my feet dangling like bait in the water that has these things swimming in it. I have seen to many of those videos of these things destroying ducks or other small woodland creatures right off the surface of the water. It also reminds me a video of some guy sticking his arm in the water off a dock somewhere in the south east and a tarpon grabs it and drags him in. No thanks!!! 
While I have never targeted musky or pike, I have had a few turn on, and even take stuff while bass fishing in shallow water, though they broke me off almost instantly. It is enough to really get the heart going for sure and make me want to come back with the appropriate tools.
Looks like a fun day for sure. Well done!
