stern
It is recommended by the USCG that all vessels should be anchored from the bow,{front} and never the rear. In Texas it is illegal to anchor your boat in lakes or creeks and rivers from the rear.
You lower the anchor line over the bow of the boat, not from the sides. This allows the anchor to drop straight down into the water and ensures it sets properly on the seabed. If you were to lower it from the side, the anchor might not deploy correctly, risking it dragging or becoming entangled. Always ensure the area is clear before dropping the anchor.
The inboard end of the anchor line can be fastened to any secure point on the vessel.
The in board end of an anchor line attaches to the bow (ie front end) of the boat/ship. On a small boat such as a River Drift Boat, the anchor line may be attached to stern (ie back end). of the boat.
The side where the anchor line will give you the least problems.
An anchor line hole is typically called a fairlead or a chock. It is a fitting on a boat or ship that guides the anchor line to ensure proper handling and secure anchoring.
Assuming you are on a boat and you are using a standard sized anchor, then if the water is 20 feet deep you'd use 20 feet of line.

The correct spelling is anchor (boat line weight, or support attachment).
