Feel sure they are difficult to catch inside (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eels

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'catch inside' is the definition.
'eels' can be an answer for 'catch' (eel is a type of fish). I am not certain of the 'inside' bit.

'feel sure they are difficult' is the wordplay.
'EELS' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eels that I've seen before include "Fish (that may be jellied)" , "Feels small imprisoning water creatures" , "(Slippery) fish" , "Snakes found in lees" , "Snakes wriggling in lees" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
