Could be a muskrat, I guess. Not familiar with them. I do have a beaver that acts very much as you describe. No major streams or creeks nearby, but somehow it found me.

At least if it's a beaver it won't eat your fish. You do have to watch out that it doesn't weaken your dam, though. Otters are really bad news for fish!
