Bob, I haven't fished Arrowhead, but keep in mind that bass definitely become less active as weather and water cool. I've zero pike experience, but expect that all of the things you are doing would work for bass in warmer weather.

Can anyone point me to some good resources on still water fly fishing? I've been poking around Lake Arrowhead in Luray on my Kayak, but have had little success. Mostly, I wait until the warmest part of the day and chuck a streamer towards the bank. Every once in a while I'll chuck a popper at the bank and when I'm feeling particularly wild, I'll chuck a nymph at the bank. Something tells me still water fly fishing is more nuanced than that. I know that Lake Arrowhead has bass, pike and perch to start with, any advice is appreciated.
