Pacific Roots Adventures
If you're up for a fishing adventure in the rich waters of Oregon in the Nehalem area, Pacific Roots Adventures is the best choice! Captain Kyle Uptegrove has been fishing the rivers here for over 20 years, so you can be sure that he knows all the best fishing spots!
Explore the natural world on the 17' Fishcraft drift boat. The boat is perfect for exploring these freshwater areas, and you'll surely enjoy your time on board while floating down these rivers. Depending on the conditions and the size of your group, you may also fish from the Capt. Kyle's 23' Alumaweld Columbia.
Capt. Kyle will have Shimano, Daiwa, and Lamiglass equipment for you, and you'll use either live bait or artificial lures. Make sure to buy a fishing license before the trip. If you have a productive day and want to take some fish home for dinner, the captain will be happy to clean and fillet your catch.
You can go on a crabbing expedition with Capt. Kyle and look for some delicious Dungeness crabs! On other trips, you'll do some drift fishing, trolling, and spinning for Salmon and Steelhead. Feel free to bring your kids, since there's no minimum age on this charter. There are life jackets for everyone, so you can relax and make some great family memories!
There will be coffee on board, but make sure to bring some food and drinks so you can stay refreshed throughout the day. You should dress according to the weather, and bring adequate rain gear.

it took the whole time to catch a salmon but the captain kept trying different areas. Eventhough we only caught one it was better than the other boats did. The captain was very helpful and positive. He even offered a bathroom break. Also he was willing to accommodate our schedule. FYI. The location listed is Not where you start. it is much closer to town and more convenient

Thanks to Kyle we were able to have an amazing fishing experience. We caught Chinook Salmon, and had so much fun doing so! Kyle is an amazing captain, and we can’t say enough great things!

Kyle is wonderful and really knows where the fish hang out. Everyone in the boat caught at least one fish. He is such great instructor as well. We’ll definitely be back!

My 13 year-old grandson and I booked this trip as part of an annual vacation. This morning, he had never caught a fish. This afternoon he is basking in the sunlight of success. :-). It was a beautiful day and a wonderful experience for us both. Captain Kyle was patient and personable. He did a great job guiding our group and engaging with us along the way. We are already talking about next year.
Kyle set the tone of the fishing trip from the beginning of day with his humor and charm and that allowed all the boat’s passengers to enjoy not only the great fishing but also each other’s company. Even during a difficult situation caused by no one’s fault but perhaps a smart fish all our poles got tangled up and as a team we were quickly able to disentangle them as we already were happy with the tone of the fishing trip. We each caught a fish as well, allowing each other to share the rods that had a fish on.

Captain Kyle was the best guide a mom and 13 year old son could ask for! He was patient and a great teacher to my budding angler. Fishing is all about - well the fishing - not always the catch. The fishing was fun and he made it feel easy. We got lots of bites and caught three fish - one worth a pic! The coffee was hot, the float was beautiful with waterfalls and all. Kyle is an expert on the river - and the boat was well equipped for the trip. We can’t wait to do it again with Kyle! My son came home asking to go out again! Now that’s a success!

Kyle was a terrific guide and put us on fish after only a few hours. He is super personable and a great coach for both beginner and experienced fishermen. He called ahead of time to make sure we were all set and knew where to go so we had a super easy and smooth trip. Plus coffee and mini donuts!! What more could you want?! :) Thanks for a great trip!

Captain Kyle put out 6 crab pots and we got 18 Dungeness crab. We fished Tillamook Bay. No one we saw caught a fish, but us. Though we saw one boat catch 2 real rocks which none of us thought was possible. Felt bad pulling in a 14 lbs Spring Salmon near them. The five of us had fun swapping stories with the Captain.

Kyle was an amazing guide! We only did a 4 hour morning and he got us all on fish and our limit! Highly recommend!

Kyle rebooked our trip after we were double booked for a late fall trip and found us an abundance of fish. My wife had never salmon fished before and caught a coho and a nice chinook. Kyle was patient and worked to put us on fish. Couldn't have had a better first experience for my wife.

Thanks Rachel!!! I had a great time spending the day with you guys! Enjoy that fish and the rest of your trip!
While the salmon were hard to find , Kyle went above and beyond to ensure we had the best chance at landing a fish. Capt Kyle had the best energy and really went out of his way to show us the local wildlife and scenery. thanks Kyle we will be back.

Chris! Thanks so much for coming out! Sorry for the tough fishing! We tried!!! Great to meet you guys and I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip! come on back and we will get you out on a better fishing day!

Guide was knowledgeable, friendly, with excellent communication prior to and during the trip. My daughter had a great time as well. Plan to fish with him again next time I am in state.

Thanks Phil! Come on back and do a float trip! Hope you find an elk!!!
