Draw near a very quiet fish (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

approach

'draw near' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'a very quiet fish' is the wordplay.
'very quiet' becomes 'pp' (musical abbreviation for pianissimo).
'fish' becomes 'roach' (roach is a type of fish).
'a'+'pp'+'roach'='APPROACH'

(Other definitions for approach that I've seen before include "What happens before landing" , "Come closer" , "Resemble" , "driveway" , "Come close" .)
