Caddis fly,,,,,, use an elk hair caddis in the appropriate size and you should be in the game if the fish are eating them.

Charlie and Mary in the first pic are Caddis,

Nick in the second pic is a Stonefly.

Unnamed guy in the third pic is also a caddis fly.

They are all caddis.

In picture 2 the left wing is folded over the body. This folding probably occured for when the invertebrate was handled for photography purposes.
The remaining wing has a caddis profile on it.

Picture 2 is not a stonefly.

I believe this hatch is known as the Mother's Day caddis, small brownish-black caddis that come off fairly thick in the spring especially on warm, cloudy afternoons on the Bow & elsewhere.
