Eel (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elver

'eel' is the definition.
(elver is a kind of eel)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for elver that I've seen before include "One may see one upriver" , "Young slippery fish" , "Young swimmer" , "Little fish" , "Immature fish" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and the Evening Standard.
