ever lost there anchors?

Went on a drift last Friday afternoon with my Brother in-law. I knew the water was high and wanted to go anyway and show him the river. I anchored in one of my favorite holes and let my line out. When I went to go pull the anchor up, it got stuck. I tried for 20 minutes to yank, jerk, pull the anchor up to no avail. I nded up cutting the rope and went on my merry way. The water was going really fast and decided not to fish any more and just did a nice drift trip. It took no time at all to reach to Lewis and clark and we wanted to go further. Well we did, We ended up at Chinook Landing. It was nice to see the lower stretch and I have been on the Columbia at the mouth of the Sandy before. So that part was not scary. We did have to row a spell to get to Chinook landing even though it was going down river. There seemed to be dead spots in a couple of places or big eddies. It was a new adventure for us that day.

So how many lost anchors in the river before?
