“My fellow presenter, Curtis, and myself get to visit some amazing places when filming our ‘Surfing The Menu’ TV program. However, Clearwater Island Lodge is certainly amongst the very best locations we have filmed at.
We both love fishing and good food – and at Clear Water Island Lodge, you get both! The fishing environment is pristine and the hospitality which was shown to us by Michael, Kerri and David was simply first-class. I am really looking forward to coming back to fish in this magic wilderness location as soon as I possibly can.”
