Fish of British rivers (5)

I believe the answer is:

loach

(Other definitions for loach that I've seen before include "River fish - film director" , "Fish with barbels around mouth" , "Freshwater fish; rhymes with freshwater fish" , "Fish - British film director" , "Film-maker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
