There are many patterns for musky flies. Do an internet search and you will find plenty of them. I tie lots of musky flies using everything from magnum rabbit strips to synthetic fibers. You will be tying big flies on big hooks. I regularly use hooks from 3/0 to 8/0 and end up with flies that are often over 10 inches.

One of the easiest to tie is a Reynolds bunny strip fly developed by Barry Reynolds for northern pike. Very effective for pike and musky but as they are made from rabbit they get heavy when wet and can be challenging to cast.

Many of the popular catalogs carry musky flies and you can get a good idea of what these patterns look like by looking at the catalogs.
