Ok we were in Pearl Lake yesterday. Looked under a rock for crawdads, and found a ????. About 1" long brown speckled with a sectioned body that had 3 prong things at the tip. Looked like a underwater earwig. I would show it to you, but as I was focusing on it in my hubby's hand a bluegill swooped in and ate it.....
 
Some mayfly larvae have that 3-spined tail thingie, though they're more in the nature of filaments.

Stonefly larvae are often confused with earwigs. That's another possibility.
 
The bluegill loved it.. It was gone in .0001 seconds, then he hung around for the rest of the dive like a dog.
