fro what i hear just about any steal head streamer wors well. some guys i fly fish with have said they have even caught muskie with just a big feather tied to the hook. couldnt really tell ya from experience. makes sense though, the feather would move a lot of water, like an injured fish.

Big bunny fly. They're a pain to cast because they hold a lot of water, but once in the water they look awesome and juicy. All white, all black, red on top-yellow on bottom, green top-yellow bottom. For a lighter, easier to cast, "almost" as effective tie, use marabou, fine fish-hair, or some other light synthetic material. None of 'em have the action and movement that bunny has, however.
