Fish tackle missing middle of net (3)
I believe the answer is:
gar
This clue might be a double definition.
'fish' is the first definition.
(type of gar)
'tackle missing middle of net' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gar that I've seen before include "Creature" , "something fishy here" , "A fish; cloth scrap (reversed)" , "Type of fish" , "swimmer" .)
