Default New Trout Magnet for me but a standard for Alphahawk

Went to the Caney yesterday since no generation from 1200 1700. Went to Buffalo Valley and went down the Boy Scout trail to the steps around 1300.Started fishing near steps using white TM and had a few hits as I did on Tuesday.Decided to use Pink and did much better. After catching around 10 pretty nice Rainbows the catching turned off. With that I noticed some fellow fishermen had gone further down river and with that I felt safe to do the same.(When by myself I will not go where I could have a difficulty). Started fishing a spot where the water is around 5-6' deep. Started fishing my old stand-by,white. Nothing.The water was moving very slowly because there was no sleucing. Jeff with Trout Magnet will tell you that with fast water use bright colors and slow water ,darker colors.With that I decided to use the color Alphahawk uses all the time,Bison( back/gold) and I do not.First cast,nice RB. Well,over the next hour,standing in one spot, I got 19 RB's in the net.Missed another 5-6.After this I decided to get out of water at least 30 minutes before generation.Safety. Went to Happy Hollow and see how it looked there.Have not been there in some time.Very first cast there with a Bison TM I caught the biggest fish all day,around 20-22" and only Brown.I went home after that.Could not get any better.
Spoke with a LEO from Rutherford County, who I got to use TM recently, who had gone to the Duck yesterday. He and his son caught around 55 trout using Bison TM's.
If you are a TM user,better get you some Bison colored TM's.Also,I was using black jig heads and a slip knot.
