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.

Great day fishing for coho with Kyle!
Full Day Trip on October 12, 20241 adult1 child

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!

Unforgettable fishing adventure to celebrate 80th Burthday!
Half Day Trip (PM) on July 26, 20255 adults

Kyle worked hard at helping us find fish and he knows the fishery. His boat was very comfortable and the equipment is top notch. The weather was great and all 5 fisherman had a great experience. Whale mother, calf and aunt added a unique and memorable encounter to the trip.

The whole family had fun!
Half Day Trip (AM) on April 5, 20243 adults2 children

My 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.

'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.'
