That snail looks so alien from that angle.... As to the "thing" on the left..... I see eyes, I see fins, I think it's a baby fish. But, man, that snail's weird -- looks like it's got horns }=)

Mud Snails generally have heads like that, with horns like cows.
Look at the Wikipedia pic of our most common species: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymnaea_stagnalis
This should be something else however, blonde and petite as it is.

You can spot finns on the tiny thing? Well, might be a very smal freshwater sculpin then perhaps, so solitary in a low flowing drain barely 3 inch deep. I thought it might also be a large damsel larva, but then it would have legs and a mock clasper tail -- or some leech, in which case it would have no features on the upper side but the skin pattern.... Generally it's not terribly sharp with the bubble and reflections through the surface, but I thought it is interesting.
