Pacific Roots Adventures – Tillamook
The Tillamook area in Oregon is rich in nature and brimming with life. Join Pacific Roots Adventures and experience some of the most productive freshwater fishing first-hand! You'll go out on the water with Captain Kyle Uptegrove, who's been fishing in the area for over 20 years, so you'll surely get an authentic experience.
Get on board his 17' Fishcraft drift boat, and explore these beautiful waters as locals do. Floating down the river is quite an experience, so bring a few friends and enjoy this great adventure together. Depending on the conditions and the size of your group, you may also fish from Capt. Kyle's 23' Alumaweld Columbia.
You'll be fishing using Shimano, Daiwa, and Lamiglas rods and reels provided by Capt. Kyle. You can use either artificial lures or live bait. What you need to do yourself is buy a fishing license before the trip, which is $22 for out-of-state people. The captain will be happy to clean and fillet your catch for you to take home to the table and taste it.
Capt. Kyle can take you out on a crabbing expedition, looking for some delicious Dungeness crabs! On half and full day trips, you'll do some spinning, drift fishing, and trolling for Salmon and Rainbow Trout. This can be a great family adventure, so feel free to bring your kids with you and spend some valuable time in nature.
Coffee will be provided for you on board, just bring some food and drinks for your refreshment. Make sure to dress appropriately, and bring warm clothes as well as rain gear.

Half Day Trip (AM) on April 5, 2024 • 5 adults • 2 childrenMy husband, sister, two kids (5 and 7) and I had a great time on the water with Kyle! We put out crab pots and caught a bunch—my kids have been telling anyone who will listen that “We caught 14 crabs!!” And the adults had so much fun cooking and eating them later that day. Thank you Kyle for an unforgettable experience.

Full Day Trip on August 17, 2023 • 2 adultsI took my brother out on a fishing charter while vacationing in Pacific City, Oregon. The guide on our charter was very knowledgeable about the area and what equipment to use. We received multiple bites and landed a 10-12lb Chinook salmon. I would use this charter again.
Sean Connelly5.0VerifiedGreat trip!

Jeff Grace5.0VerifiedMarch fishing trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on March 2, 2021 • 3 adults • 1 childWow, it was awesome. Weather was perfect, fishing was awesome, a perfect day. Three generations with the captain who went above and beyond. A huge variety of gear four different places on the river. I can say whether we caught fish or not which we did it was a great day from weather, fishing, captain, laughing and all. Definitely will be back for another trip with him.
Tyler Smalling5.0VerifiedHalf day fishing
Half Day Trip (AM) on September 17, 2020 • 2 adultsWe set out with captain Kyle on what ended as a slow morning on the water. Every boat we passed by lamented they weren't getting any bites. But captain Kyle stayed out with us until the last minute, and did that ever pay off! We caught a beautiful coho when everyone else came up empty. He was also conscious to my girlfriend's sensibilities with regards to dispatching the fish once caught. Time spent on the boat with captain Kyle was a blast, with or without bites (but best with! 😁)

Kyle was a fantastic host, worked hard to make for a wonderful experience.
Great to meet you Del!! Thabks for yhe kind words. come back anytime!
My son and I spent a gorgeous day in Wheeler fishing with Captain Kyle. First of all, Kyle is a super nice guy and very easy to talk to. I like to think we’d be good buds if we lived close to each other. He’s also a very knowledgeable teacher who is willing to teach and has great patience with less experienced anglers. Kyle did his hardest to put us on fish, and after a slow morning, we were able to haul in some beautiful wild coho. My son and I had a fantastic time and would love to return to Oregon in the future to fish with Kyle!

Thanks for coming with me. It was great to meet you and the crew! Glad the whales cooperated. Hahaha. I hope to see you guys again soon!
