Question... for a small jon boat on a reservoir (I'm in Maryland, and I
fish on Liberty Reservoir, for those of you familiar with this area), what
type of anchor would be best? I presently have a small "mushroom" anchor (8
lbs, I think) but it doesn't hold the boat in place -- I tend to drift. Any
suggestions? I think the bottom is mostly mud but I'm not exactly sure.

A small Danforth would probably work well. I use a small one for beach
anchoring. It will dig in when the boat starts to drift.
