Done it a few times but not in Alberta. Just after ice off is best and it’s easier with a boat and electronics. I targeted large creeks that dropped off into deep water. I would let the fly swing out in the current and feed out extra line. When my line swung out of the current I would wait allowing it to sink the strip and pause retrieve. They either hit as my fly swung around the drop off or stripping it back after letting it sink
Heavy cone head rabbit strip flys with lots of flash. White and black/purple seemed to work best
I did use my fish finder to locate schools and It was done on a lake with good numbers. Nothing huge all between 2-7lbs
