Native American has left basket for fisherman (5)
I believe the answer is:
creel
'basket for fisherman' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'native american has left' is the wordplay.
'native american' becomes 'cree' (an indigenous people of North America).
'has' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'cree'+'l'='CREEL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for creel that I've seen before include "Basket (for a mackerel once caught?)" , "Lobster trap" , "Bobbin rack" , "lobster basket" , "Wickerwork basket" .)
