Best results on a fly for me have been by teasing with a lure first.
Throw a Suick, Rapala or other stick bait, a musky sized spinner or a rubber jerk bait with no hooks to draw them out and show themselves.
Then drop the casting rig and throw the fly to where I think the fish is, twitch, twitch, strip, strip, twitch, twitch, strip, strip...
Use a fly that is similar in size and color to the tease bait.
Once you learn where they live, less teasing is needed, so it really helps to know how to get a few before you try on the fly.
