River where right-wing angler will refine skill (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rhone

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'river' is the definition.
(Rhone is an example)

'right-wing angler will refine skill' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is found in the answer.
'refine' could be 'hone' (hone can mean to refine or improve) and 'hone' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'where' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rhone that I've seen before include "River rising in Switzerland and flowing into the Mediterranean" , "River running through the city of Arles" , "Swiss-French river" , "wherein runs rain in Arbroath" , "Fr. river and wine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
