John Boor's ladder on Mahseer


I built this myself from 1in stainless and wooden steps. The width of the ladder was determined by the wooden steps. Photo 1 shows the 4 point attachments to give lateral stability.

Photo 2 shows a curved top to allow better access for hips.

Photo 3 shows the ladder extends about 3ft into the water, this is great when you are tired. I use a lanyard attached to the bottom section for lowering and retrieving, the line is wrapped around the tubing only to allow lowering the ladder if you happen to fall in.
