Found this on a small ledge at about 30ft.
It's about 6'' long and 3/4'' in Dia. It curled up a bit when I touched it and was stll alive about 40 min. later on the return trip. I'm guessing it fell in and landed on the ledge. It moved far too slow to swim. Anyone know what it is?

No legs. I've searched the net for grubs, larvae, etc. I've found some that were similar but only a couple of inches long. No where near this guy. Even the "old" guys :D around here don't have a clue. I'm stumped.
 
My bet's still a millipede. The lack of legs may mean nothing more than that minnows cleaned 'em off, like they'll do to a shrimp.
