The simple answer is no....But it helps. I carry both a stake out pole and an anchor at times because of the varying depths I fish. Sometimes I stick the anchor pole through the scupper hole in front of me if I need to pinpoint a stop quickly because I saw baitfish scatter or birds diving. If I am planning to fish a planned out specific spot like a point in the marsh, I use the anchor trolley so I can position the kayak exactly how I want it (back to the wind, facing how I want to with respect to the current, etc). I have also used my anchor trolley to better control my drift chute when fishing offshore. Just my .02
