 I know its not a fish, and i have my thoughts as to exactly what it is, but being so small I thought best to ask those who know far more than I do.

Thanks

not a paddle crab (not sure of the name though)they are fairly common under rocks along the downstream parts of the river along with the other more common type of rock crab both make good bait for big bream.

Figured would have been good for bait, but without knowing exactly what it was,  I wasnt too keen on killing it!

 No spines between the eyes

 No spines between the eyes so definitely not an Asian paddle crab,

it could be a small four lobed swimming crab
