Weasels and minks are very small. Otter is what you saw. Minks are seen in and around the water more than a weasel. I see minks frequently in the early am when I fish. Last weekend one ran right by me on the ice. When I went to check on its tracks, because we got an inch of snow the night before, there were other tracks where a lg tail dragged and every 20 feet or so iits whole body would slide along. For sure an otter. And they are much bigger, over 30 inches long.
