Fish none out from the French river (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

garonne

'the french river' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fish none out' is the wordplay.
'fish' becomes 'gar' (gar is a kind of fish).
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'none' is an anagram of 'onne'.
'gar'+'onne'='GARONNE'

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for garonne that I've seen before include "Toulouse's river" , "French river" , "River of Toulouse and Bordeaux" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
