You can find Mitten Crabs in rivers or river mouths by looking for a small shadow. The active hours are between 4 pm and 9 am local time. It’s available for most of the day, so finding one shouldn’t be a problem. As far as fish go, it’s not the most common, but with some patience, you should see one during the evening.
There are many other small shadows in the river during the same hours and season, such as the Freshwater Goby, Crucian Carp, and Angelfish, to name a few. Be patient and ready to sift through a bunch of unwanted fish, and you will eventually catch yourself a Mitten Crab.
