I'm a little experienced at catching turtles, but in a clear river you can see where they go, and then, sneak up on them and grab them by hand.
That's what I did to this one. He was sunbathing, I saw him dive in, but he only went so far, as sliders and painters are apt to do. They won't swim away for miles. They'll hide by a rock, tree, or in this case, under some algae and plants. I waded through the water, scooped away some algae, and there he was!
