I've got a few nice musky near Emlenton on red/white jitterbugs and large spinners

Spend some time catching "riffle runners". They can be caught on a size 22 hook tipped with a maggot. Probably the best Allegheny River bait IMHO.
Fish the runners on a size 6 bait hook, and a split shot, sized to match the current. Target any break in current, and any deeper runs and holes you may encounter.
Bings is spot on also, stickbaits work well.

Skip,
We throw smaller spinner baits (all colors) and get everything from bass to pike.

WOW, I didn't know anyone else did that!! We used a tiny piece of crawler on basically what I think was a dry fly hook. Used to catch them in the afternoons and use em for bait in the mornings and evenings. And we always used size 2 hooks while drifting down the river. Best fishing I ever experienced. A friend's family had a place right on the river in Venango County, thats the only way they would get bait.

We always caught them n the river, oddly enough, in the riffles lol! Riffles with a little grass in them seemed the best. I don't see any reason you couldn't get them with a trap or net, too.
