Steelheadfisher the skook has many good holes. I ve had good luck using very light gear and small baits, also if your a bobber fishermen this river really has awsome water. My first chioce would be to start out toward Buccoda by the dam many excellent holes. From the dam work your way down, put your backpack on and walk to the back of the of some of the public use lands there are some really nice holes back there. Also good water down by the mouth were it dumps into the Chehalis, which is over behind the ball fields in centraila{Borist park }and some descet hole behind Godfathers pizza At Riverside park in downtown centraila.Hope this helps.
