    Why 10,000 casts? Is it hard to find them?

      That and even if you do find some they may not even be remotely interested in feeding.

      @@theflycrate is it the flies and techniques that aren't as known and advanced as trout and bass fly fishing? Or is it just a smarter fish?

      @HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy people definitely have musky fly fishing well documented, I'd chalk it up to the fish being smarter / harder to catch. Plus there's fewer musky in the water than the fish they prey on.
