I've been fishing the Madison river for years. I have had fantastic success catching 20-30 fish a day and up to 22", however i catch nothing out of the deepest pools. My friend and i think it is because we can't run our lures deep enough, how do we run our lure deeper. Also, any tips for helping set a hook in a big fish, we have lost a lot of big fish because our hook always comes out. Oh, remember it's a mountain river and the water is running pretty quickly.

Try putting more weight on the line, try standing in a different spot. Wade a little deeper? One thing that helps me is don't worry about if the lure is coming back. Cast in there and hope for the best. If you are flyfishing try a full sinking line.Are you fishing the park? If you are try looking in "Flyfishers guide to Wyoming" by Ken Retallic. Good luck, catch & release.

Put a small split shot about three feet in front of the lure.
