I can't give you much help other than to say that smallies will take any type of artificial lure. There is a site dedicated to river smallies, and the site, not surprisingly, is http://www.riversmallies.invisionzone.com/forums/

take as ice auger with you....doubt if you'll find much open water in canada right now.

unless it is a FAST flowing river, bassintom is right. Even the rivers here in Maine are frozen right across. Good for snowmobiling when smooth...

If you are ice fishing, go with that jigging spoon. Not just smallmouth, but other fish will hit those too.
