I know a lot of you do not have Facebook accounts, but some do. Davie McPhail has posted 3 photos that may interest our members. Have a look:

As you know, I am not the brightest bulb on the tree, but I think you have to be friends with him on FB to see his posts. It may also be a matter of me not knowing how to work FB properly.

Mark, Thanks for sharing these and for getting the permissions.
Please pass-along my thanks and I'm sure those of others to Davie.

To Mark and Davie,
Thanks for bringing this to the forum fellows! Very interesting indeed! These are great looking patterns for sure! Oh, to have a frame of these tied by Malcolm G. on my den wall!! I was looking very intently at the Waterhen Bloa on the pictures. Yep, it looks very much like my interpretations that I did this spring. I must be doing it right!
Thanks again fellows! This sure made my afternoon!
Doug

Years ago Malcolm wrote a booklet on spiders that was included inside the British magazine "Fly Fishing & Fly Tying. I won't let my copy out of my sight. I wish they would republish that little treasure. Bill

Very nice. Thank you, Mark, and thanks to Davie as well. I agree with Bill, it would be good to see Malcolm Greenhalgh's booklet, The Spider Guide, be made available to a wider audience.
