Anchor suggestion needed - 8andout17 - 04-07-2017
What style/type/weight anchor do you recommend for a 14 aluminum boat in Lake Mead. I typically stay in water less than 60 feet deep.
I would also appreciate your anchor suggestions for Willow Beach.
Thanks!

A small "fluke" anchor should serve both places well.
I have a 9# Tie Down Engineering fluke for my 18'er and had it hold in nasty stuff out at Mead, much worse than you'll be in in a 14'er.
Willow depends on where you're going. I've had a 15# navy anchor bouncing long the rock/gravel bottom up by the dam when the flow rate was up, wouldn't hook up even though the name on the anchor is "Hooker"....
I usually take my 14' jon boat to Willow, and use one of those collapsible 4 prong anchors, works well, but I'm not anchoring in fast current.
Get some chain for the anchor if you want it to hold, and not pull. I have a 7' and 13' sections of 5/16" that I use on Mead, if it's nasty I'll use all 20' out the bow. Smaller chain would be appropriate for your boat, 5' or so.

Came in to suggest the same thing. Great anchor. A little pricey, but worth it.

And the Danik hook for the rope.
