    Is there any way for the reflective water shader to reflect the skybox texture?

    Yep. Select the water object, and set the Clear Flags of the Camera component to Skybox.

    I'm not sure why that isn't default.

    I tried doing as you said, but I still don't get a skybox relfection. Is there anything else I should tick off?

    Are you sure you did that to the Daylight Reflective Water object and not the Main Camera object?

    Yes, sorry I picked the wrong thing when I grabbed that image. The Daylight Reflective Water camera has clear flags selected and set to Skybox. Any other settings I should try clicking on or off?

    It seems that you have skybox ("polluted depression") setup on your main camera (and possibly not on water reflection camera). Instead, you can leave out custom skyboxes on cameras empty, and setup a global skybox in Render Settings.
