The river you are fishing in is home to lots of different fish, pike included. I fish the north Saskatchewan river and never had a problem catching walleye with a leader on. As for the pickerel rig a couple tips. First try worms on the bottom hook and minnow on the top. Keep your rod tip up and keep you line tight. Also dont cast out so far, 20 ft is lots. A lot of the time down here you have to hold you rob because the walleye bite so light the you can hardly tell buy looking. Good luck, hope this helps. Tight lines.
