Drift chute with anchor

Has anyone tried a drift chute off the front of their yak while employing a rear anchor system in order to keep the yak from drifting side to side??
Just wondering how to keep it in one place without using a front anchor.

The above post was from me.

unless you are drifting, the drift chute won't do anything, it'll deflate and just sink.

or is this a trick question...  

I think Mike's question is directed towards the use of the drift chute on the river  

ah. it was a trick question!

water moves in a river, don't it.  

well, that would work.

it sure seems a really small drift chute would overcome the wiggle that comes from variable wind and help hold you steady.

seems like the size of the chute has to be matched to flow carefully.

but I think I better shut up now.  

Yea, I should have mentioned I was talking about river applications. I will give it a shot next time out and post the results.

I am not sure it wouldn't magnify the problem and cause it to drift more.

I think it would. If you have a strong current that drift chute is gonna pull like hell against the anchor.

There...now I'm logged in. That was me.  

Let's see you got an anchor out and you are in essence a drift chute to your anchor, now you want to add another drift chute to the drift chute? My money says it won't solve your problems.

Drawn and quartered.
