Yough River

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has any tips on musky fishing the Yough River. I'm not asking for spots, I have located these fish, but just maybe any lure suggestions or anything whatsoever. I have been targeting these fish for over a year now with absolutely no success. I have a boat and all the necessary gear, such as a net, numerous pliers, jaw spreaders, etc., but I just can't get one. I understand musky fishing is not easy, but going 3-4 days a week for over a year and still being empty handed seems a little much. I see them frequently, so I know they're there, but they have zero interest in anything I try. I have never had a sniff or a follow. When I see them they're just laying on the bottom lazily, or swimming around, but they never have interest in anything I've tried. Just for some more info the main lures I use are regular sized Bull Dawgs, a Phantom Softail 6 inch, Musky Mayhem Baby Girl, a few other inline spinners, and topwaters such as a Super Spook or TopRaider. Literally any info is greatly appreciated, thank you. 

It took me 3 full years to catch one on a fly, so you're about a third of the way there.
 
If you aren't "figure 8-ing" every single cast, that's the first place to start.

Large live bait with a circle hook?  

5/0 treble and blue powrbate

Keep working your butt off?
 
For what it is worth, not much, my best days have always been on the ugliest days.  Change up your presentation a lot.  If you know you are casting to fish, keep changing your presentation.  Color/size/speed/depth/etc.  Maybe the clear water has them extra fickle?  Are they fished hard?  Maybe try something unconventional like a 12" rubber worm.  Maybe try it when the water is off a little on a rainy day.  Keep working it, it will happen.  When it does, don't let your mind be out jagging around, you don't want to blow it with a trout set.  It will haunt you, or so I have heard.  I have missed more than a couple fish while pulling the fly out of the water, so always make a sharp fast turn when you get close, and figure 8, splash, make some noise, etc.  Other than that, keep hustling.

um, maybe try a different species.  

 I have caught literally every other species in this river, muskies are my primary focus, and are hands down the most difficult.

Thanks for the response, I do figure 8 every cast.

Might have to pack it in quit .
