I can only think it must be ..Elect.Anagram of eel and then CT
(C)augh(t )_(CT) short.
I'm sure you're right, S, but there seems to be something missing...namely, something for 'elect' to mean. The clue should surely have read something like: "Choose mixed eel caught short."
Or am I missing something?

I was thinking along the same lines - with perhaps "short" being the "meaning". The word "caught" on its own is suficient to give the letters "ct" ( without using the word "short").

The "meaning" I was thinking about was as in "president elect" - that is "standing by" or "shortly to become"!

I thought along similar lines, C, but could not come up with any way in which 'elect' might mean 'short'. Sorry, but I'm far from convinced by your 'President elect' theory!
I'm not convinced by my own answer either!!
Perhaps Toronto will get back to us.
I'd say it was an oversight on the part of the compiler.
