Been meaning to post these for a bit. All during an early July camping trip in the Kettle Creek watershed.

Can anyone ID the two mayflies? Both around a #16. The yellow one really puzzles me: two tails says it’s not a sulphur but with those black eyes the closest match I could find is a mayfly found only in England…
 
I'm going stonefly on the last one. Mind you I'm not usually God at these but we have the same bug on yhe Sinnemahoning in August/September and they're nowhere near as big as the one you named. Also the wing appears "woven" rather than striped with dashed lines as the pics of yiur ID I looked up. Enlighten me.

For the yellow mayfly, try searching within the genus Eporus.
