Happening to be catching flat-fish, I hear (6,5)
I believe the answer is:
taking place
'happening' is the definition.
('take place' can be a synonym of 'happen')
'catching flat-fish i hear' is the wordplay.
'catching' becomes 'taking' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'flat fish' becomes 'plaice' (I've seen this before).
'i hear' shows a homophone (sound like).
'plaice' sounds like 'place'.
'taking'+'place'='TAKING PLACE'
'to be' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
