I may have a not so cunning plan...
Have you ever use such a thing as a buoyant damsel nymph? If so what is your favoured patter?
My initial thoughts were along the lines of a olive booby or olive lure with a balloon caddis type head.
Do damsels hatch after crawling up a reed stem?
Alan Hill's version, works well, also for fry feeders, fished off a midge tip or intermediate.

I believe they can but ones I have seen can swim pretty good too. I think they make there way to the bank to complete the transformation.
I believe they do crawl out of the water to hatch. I am thinking of using a buoyant fly with a sinking link / leader to hold other flies close to the bottom or lower in the water.
They are quite quick and hungry hunters around the lower layers so bobbing one through low down could be a cunning plan.

Exactly my thinking, probably teamed with a couple of shrimp imitations.
