Best advice I can give you about fishing a river is to fish it small. Meaning that you don't just cast into the river, but cast to seams, behind rocks, at the bank, etc. If you just blind cast like you're fishing a lake in a river you're going to get frustrated most of the time. Fishing this way makes it a little less intimidating because you start to break down the river and each cast has a target. You'll also catch more fish because you'll begin to figure out where they're holding that day.
Basic gear is some silver and gold spinners, spoons of varying colors (I keep it simple), and the trusty nightcrawler. Don't be afraid of a little bit bigger lure sizes, they handle the current better and stay in the stike zone better, I also like rapalas if you can stomach $8 each.
There's a reason people come from all over to fish these rivers!
