Fish sound river margin (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brim

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

'river margin' is the definition.
'brim' can be an answer for 'margin' (I've seen this in another clue). I am unsure of the 'river' bit.

'fish sound' is the wordplay.
'fish' becomes 'bream' (bream is a kind of fish).
'sound' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'bream' sounds like 'BRIM'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for brim that I've seen before include "Projecting edge of hat" , "Be full; edge of hat" , "Lip; part of 6 Down" , "Edge (of cup or hat)" , "Lip of bowl, cup etc" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
