what line?

I am soon going fishing for the first time in Canadian waters, going to Ottawa River. I am unsure of what line I should use on my poles. I hope to catch walleye, bass, etc. but also would love to land a muskie. Im not sure what line would be best to cover any fish I may hook. Any suggestions?? Thanks
