{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Kayak anchor recommendations

I have a canoe rather than a kayak and for Fletchers Cove definitely use the big rock. I wrap some of it in duck tape, tie rope around it, then attach a (cheap) anchor rope to that. I have no idea how heavy the rock is -- maybe 20 lbs?

Elsewhere on the Potomac I use a regular 10 lb. mushroom anchor. There are plenty of placed on the river where that won't hold my 57 lb. canoe (plus my 160 lbs. plus however many pounds of crap I've got with me). I've actually started to bring the rock with me sometimes instead of the mushroom anchor. I know the 10 lb. anchor doesn't hold me in current at Fletchers.

Hi - I have used the rock and rope, Flintstone style, anchor for the last several years while chasing Shad at Fletchers.  The judges have begun deducting style points so I am looking for an upgrade.  Any recommendations?
