It all depends on the type of river you are fishing.

 

For a deep/slow moving river (Normally pretty wide) I would recommend using ledger as a general method. That way you have the ability to cast to most areas you thing the fish are.

 

Equipment for this:

 

Feeder rod, ledger or method feeder (Depends on the strength of the current) and baits such as Corn/Meat/Maggot are often a good starting point.

 

As for the thinner/quicker moving rivers I would say head for a float rig at first. Try and find some overhanging snags and trot a float rig down with something like Maggot/Bread ect: and see what turns up!

 

Good luck
