September 2025 Alaska Fishing Reports

Ocean-run coho salmon are available in September with bait fishing  at Knik River and / or Little Susitna River.  Fishing on the Big Susitna River drainage is restricted to artificial lures only, starting September 1, however, we’ve guided guests into some good Susitna River drainage coho catches in September as well.   Daily temperatures start cooling down in September, so guests should bring warm clothes and rain gear — and especially for morning trips.    Early September generally provides much greater numbers of prime ocean-fresh salmon.  We suggest calling before attempting to reserve a coho salmon fishing trip after September 10.
