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.

Finally
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 15, 20264 adults

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

Great first experience for grandson!
Full Day Trip on August 12, 20253 adults

We booked this trip with Captain Kyle to kick-start a birthday adventure on the Oregon coast for our 16 year old grandson, who lives in Minnesota and has shown a recent keen interest in fishing. Under Captain Kyle all five of us in the boat reeled in a nice chinook salmon within 3-1/2 hours. After more enjoyable days of crabbing and deep-sea fishing elsewhere, our grandson stated that his favorite part of the birthday adventure was reeling in that chinook salmon! No doubt this experience will be forever remembered.

'Captain Kyle is a local to the area. He has been fishing since he was a kid, and he loves it, as well as teaching people how to do it. Seeing how excited people get when they catch their first fish is one of his favorite things in the world. 'I have been fishing the Oregon Coast and the Portland area for over 20 years. It has been my passion for years and I love to see people catching their first Salmon and Steelhead.'
