The River Soar at Loughborough hosted Sunday’s round of RiverFest 2018. The match was fished in baking hot conditions and with the river running clear, it was feared that weights could be low for everyone. Thankfully, no one told the fish and some excellent weights were recorded!

The three swims below the weir in A Zone on the River Soar at Sileby were hotly fancied to do well. This is where match winner Nick West put his draw to good use, winning the match with 8kg 880g using long pole tactics with a variety of hookbaits.

B Zone winner was Danny Ashington with 4kg 150g of pole caught roach and leading the way in C Zone was Pete Morris with 6kg 600g of pole caught skimmers.
