Default Stoneflies for Christmas

My daughter River stuffed my stocking this past Christmas with a 20 piece stonefly life cycle kit from Bass Pro. I'm not sure about any of these patterns but I am hoping they will bring me a few nice trout this summer so I can tell her that her special flies worked for me. Any thoughts on some of these patterns and opinions on whether they will fish well for me would be much appreciated.

Cheers!!

Diddy.

I just went through the stonefly species in Alberta with my little five watt bulb between my ears and that lovely little angel of yours bought you a present that covers every stonefly in Alberta from south to north.

Obviously a daddy's girl. Keep her that way.

Those look great, when there is a stonefly hatch you are all set.

And in B.C. !
Fish those babies in the big water riffles of the Columbia River near Castlegar/Trail/Genelle and you'll be into some fun. Bring your big-boy #8 fly-rod though!

I don't think think they will work at all best to just give them to me.
