Kyle,
The Skookumchuck steelhead used to run mainly late in the winter season, like March and April. They still do, but some years there will be fair numbers of fish arriving earlier, beginning in January. I've never looked into it, but that may be due to stocking some early timed hatchery steelhead, like Chambers Creek fish, but I honestly don't know. The Skookumchuck hatchery program was developed using native, late timed fish.
The best thing I can think of is to drive over and check it out beginning around the first of the year and see if anglers are catching fish or not. When it's slow, people are happy to let you know how bad the fishing is.
Good luck.
