Default Eddy fishing for walleye in fast water

I'll be going on a canoe trip in early June in Northern Saskatchewan.
I've been told that walleye fishing is always good in the eddies below
rapids and falls in the area I'm going, but I've never never never
caught anything by casting a jig behind a boulder in fast current.
The current quickly grabs the line and yanks the hook downstream out
of the eddy. I usually end up catching no walleye at all on these
trips (lots of pike, though, in shallow bays). Any suggestions about
how to fish eddies from shore, in fast-moving water?
