inflow

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

'rising tide' is the definition.
'inflow' can be an answer for 'tide' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'rising' bit.

'trendy predator back' is the wordplay.
'trendy' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean fashionable).
'predator' becomes 'wolf'.
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'wolf' in reverse letter order is 'flow'.
'in'+'flow'='INFLOW'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inflow that I've seen before include "Island of Tanzania" , "Influx" , "entry?" , "Arrival of air or water" , "People arriving, say" .)
