Anchor security

I lost my 30 lb. pyramid lead anchor on July 4, on the Gunnison River.  It was attached to my Bo's Anchor System with a hardware store clip that closes manually.  It is like a caribiner.  The clip had reclosed by itself.  We had anchored 4 times, and it obviously came off when we anchored for some strong winds to pass.  What is the best hardware option to secure to the ring on the anchor.  The clip was still attached to the rope.  I suppose the ring on the anchor could have broken.   Suggestions?

I concur with the use of a bowline knot .... this knot also keeps the anchor close and helps prevent swing...

I use a screw lock caribeaner and have never had a problem.
