Most likely an otter. I added swivels and cable to all my large conibears after the same situation. I found the otter though up under a tree root 30 yds. downstream.

Look for tracks.If it was a beaver or otter you would see a big mess before the sapling broke off.I still say bear. If its a bear your chances of finding the trap/beaver are slim to none.If it was not you will be able to find it.

The bear don't get caught they take off with the beaver and trap.Lost about half a dozen to bear each year doing beaver removal for the railroad.They wont take a bunch just one.They never eat the beaver on the spot,always take off with them.Wolf drag them up out of the water then eat them right there. Bear is unmistakeable-straight pull and gone.

I had a bear take beaver and 330 several hundred yards down stream but I was easily able to find everything by the blood trail he made with his meal.
