I see copepod, fluke and possible turibella worm. Freshwater dip should address the flukes and any worms.

I am sorry can you circle where the fluke is, I'm assuming it's the big thing but...I read a post and used Google lens and I'm just not seeing it. Maybe the species of the fluke would be helpful to me.
big one yes
