A Clouser with lots of white should work. We target pickerel in lakes in the summer every year. White and flashy flies work well early in the season, later in the summer they go deep and anything heavy works. Wire leaders seem to spook them, but in a river it might not matter though it is probably not necessary. I usually use a short 15 or 20 lb. fluoro leader and an intermediate line. When it's hot and they are way down deep I tend to give up on the fly rod and just use a spinning rod and a rattle trap.
