Nymph Identification

Well I ventured out to the Flatbrook River for the third weekend in a
row in an attempt to catch a trout. Started off the day with a #16
GRHE and then a #16 PT without as much as a hit. Since the fishing
wasn't going so well, I seined a few nymphs in an attempt to get a
better idea of what the trout may be feeding on. I identified cased
caddis, a brownish-yellow mayfly nymph, helgramites and then I got a
bit confused:

Two bugs in my collection I could not identifiy. I thought the first
might be a yellow stonefly as it had six legs, two large appendages
(like antennae) off it's rear, two large appendages (like antennae)
coming off it's head and was a brownish-tan color. It looked very
similar to the mayfly nymph, but the mayfly had swimmerettes on its
side and didn't move much, but what I thought was the stonefly,
actively crawled around the jar. The second nymph was nothing more
than a small (3/4 inch) off white worm with one tiny brown appendage
coming off its rear and two tiny white appendages coming off its head
region.

I realize it's hard to identify based on descriptions but I thought
someone might have a clue. In addition, if anyone knows of any guide
books that contain descriptions and pictures of aquatic insects i would
be more than happy to pick one up.

Lastly, as far as the fishing went, I struck out again. I saw a few
trout this time but I think I spooked them right off the bat. Also, my
girlfriend and I had a bear walk right up on us within 50 yards. That
was more for her to handle and kept her in the truck the rest of the
day. All in all any interesting day but I hope I can start catching
some fish soon. Thanks guys.
