Double Anchoring in Rivers

I like to use my feet to keep the kayak from swinging.  If the current is of moderate speed, I anchor into the current from the bow. The kayak doesn't sway to much and I have more control to paddle to slower water or the bank when I hook into a fish.

Remember, this is just my worthless opinion based on my limited experience.

Just about impossible to have a worthless opinion, except for politicians that don't yak fish! 

Conehead, your worthless opinion as you call it, comes from lot's of experience which actually makes your thoughts worthy of note!  Take care.

Bobber and egg fishing for fall chinnook in the lower tidewater sections of most Northern Oregon coastal rivers (the application I think Spot is referencing) requires two anchors to fish effectively wether you are in a yak or a 23ft sled.  Often you anchor in "frog" water or backeddies and fish current seams/breaks or structure nearby. Keeping the boat stationary and not crawling all over the hole is not only important to consistently catching fish but is also a common local courtesy (small holes, narrow rivers etc). 

Either way you slice it, two anchors, a yak and a fired up fall chinnook is a lot to have to deal with
