creek fishing boat

In essence it's as much about the paddle and your skill level as it is the boat you have or how you have it rigged up. An anchor has it's place but in my opinion it plays an almost insignificant role in catching fish in moving water. I wouldn't waste to much time trying to convert a white water boat to the task. Others may strongly disagree and I'm certainly not one to brag about the limited steel I've caught from a yak but I have had a lot of practice at it in waters bigger than most have tried. Nothing can substitute for experience. My advice is to go and catch a fish in moving waters first and think about the rigging while you're out there. Necessity is the mother of invention.

Not me... I strongly agree... anchors and whitewater don't mix.

thanks for your thoughts S-rider

I would heat the end of the pipe and try to get more of a flair so the chain and rope
Don’t hang-up on the edge that is about the only thing that I can think of right now 

but I will say that I like the idea looks great

Ive got to do something there. That is my #1 point of friction. I had started sanding that edge but your flair idea trumps the sanding.
Im curious how the ABS will react to the heat from the plastic welder.
we will see.

your back on the hug list! Ive got very little education in the way of other plastics and that link was a big help.  So far Ive been limiting the parts to what I can pick up at the local hardware store. I did make it over to tapplastics but I didnt have alot of luck there.
I like the idea of using teflon tubing but the minimum order of 100 kgs will force me to look other places. Im wondering if teflon would be more frictionless than what Im using so far.
Thanks again for the great ideas.

Good Luck maybe that thing will double as a snorkel 

and another good idea M!   2 hugs for you!
the Kraken dubbed it shopvac kayak. its unfortunate but I cant disagree.
after It gets encased in mini cell im hoping it looks more like a funtional anchor system.
Im learning ALOT with this project and I still believe that it might not work, but strangely enough, Im realizing that this system will work on another boat.
