We tie a thin braided metal line to our anchor chain, drop the chain to the bottom, and tie the thin metal line to a rock on shore (through an eye bolt). Throughout the winter, the braided line cuts through the ice so that the anchor chain and anchor never move, and you just follow the line out in the spring, lift the chain up, and store the braided line. 6 years now and the anchor hasn’t moved an inch (and no diving in freezing water to find the chain)!
