I've ground to a halt on last few of this thematic puzzle:

18a Tight holds partially circling sumotori (6)(a modified clue)
I have C/KL-N-S (6)

16d Touch headgear when one leaves (4) ???T (a modified clue)

23a Young fish caught in fishermen's gear (9)
It looks like STEERLING but I can't parse it.

Any hints or help would be appreciated. Thanks.

18a is CLINGS and it is not a modified clue = tight holds (clings) and is then hidden in the rest of the clue .....cir(CLING S)umotori
16 'touch' = TIG+H(a)TS
23 'young fish' = HERLING (inside) NETS

Many thanks to both of you. I had deduced the 15-letter compound noun to be clued but had brain freeze when it came to completing the grid.
