Captain
Kyle Uptegrove

Member since December 2019 Nehalem, United States
Background
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."
Techniques
I enjoy using conventional tackle. We will be doing a lot of bobber fishing, bobber dogging, back trolling and back bouncing. I also like to fly fish for cutthroat Trout and Steelhead.
