Anchoring in current in rivers can be dangerous yes, but if you and your kayak is prepared with a anchor trolley, the proper length of rope on your anchor and some sort of quick release system it can be done with the greatest of ease.
I’ve anchored in many rivers. Hell there is a group of girls that catch sturgeon on the Fraser in their kayaks. So the whole DO NOT ANCHOR IN CURRENT warning is completely unfounded. Be careful in flowing water yes but you need to be careful on small trout ponds too.
