If the fish seem to be coming off mostly high hits, I may change the shallow wire to another shallow lead core, or a flat-lined mono rod fished with a 5/8 ounce keel weight, on an in-line planer board. That being said, this time of year, the fish are scattered in the water column and seem to be more "boat shy" if the water is clear, so I like to run longer leads at shallower depths. I am a fanatic with down speed and if I'm not getting hits yet there's fish on my graph, I'll play with speed most of the time before I'll change anything in my spread. I don't target browns much, so here's my take for salmon, steelhead and lake trout : In the early Spring I usually fish two riggers with long leads and usually one shallow wire diver and a junk rod somewhere between three and seven color lead core off an in-line planer. Roughy 75% of the time, I'm fishing a two man spread of four rods so I'll give you what usually works for me. It sounds like you already have a really good feel for things after just one year.
