Can I use spinning gear? What kind of lure would one use? What kind of fish are in the Athabasca river? Can you effectively fish from a drifting canoe if you get in some slower water, or is it best saved for shore breaks?

Its the same as lake fishing, Cast into deeper water and retrieve. Definitely fish from the boat, whenever the canoe slows right down due to lack of current are good places to try. Bring small spinners, spoons, jigs and give it a go. you will hook into something. Good Luck
