Micro-invertebrate sources and river conditions

Hello all,
Another Newbie to fly fishing and to the Guadalupe for fly fishing.
While fishing upstream at the Action Angler parking lot recently I noticed the slab of limestone that I walked on (the riverbed) that stretched throughout my fishing area. I checked the bottom of a few rocks and only found one “bug”, while there were many snail-like creatures near the shore.
My question is, how did the flood a few years ago change the macro-invertebrate food source and the spawning grounds for the fish? I know the fish are mostly in the deeper pools of that area, but there seemed to be very few suitable spawning grounds or food sources (at least in that section of the river). Is that true for a lot of the Guadalupe?
Are there any river restoration plans for sections of the Guad to entice fish to spawn and “bugs” to grow? Or am I just fishing in the wrong area and don’t know what I’m talking about?
Sincerely interested, Bill
