Same as SS river or most any praire river in AB.
Miinows(spottail shiners), nightcrawlers, leeches would be a good start for bait. Jigs and twister tails(plastics), bucktail jigs are a favourite of mine if you want to cast(bait can be used in place of plastics if you wish).
All kinds of hardware from spinner baits to spoons and spinners also would work.
