1. Bison
2. White
3. Salmon Fix
4. Black/Green
5. Bulldog
I would love to see your top 5 favorites

White or pink with black jig head
White or pink with chartreuse jig head
all in faster water
in slower water I will try the above and then go to darker colors
I only fish for trout.
Since returning from a month of fishing in Arkansas,Colorado and New Mexico,I have been experimenting with using two floro's at the same time.While fishing the San Juan I was not having a lot of hits.I decided to put a 6' piece of T M floro on and then I tied a 3-4' piece of Seaguar floro on.That is when I started having hits with just about any color of T M i was using.This past week I was able to fish the Caney for the first time in a while and I did the same. The person I was with fished the same colors as I did but I used the new floro set-up.He caught 8 while I was able to catch 40.
Whatever color works for you is the one to use.But if you get a chance try using a longer floro especially in slow water.

Couple questions if you don't mind:
What are the specs on your line and floro topshot (example: both 6 lb lines or 4 to 8)?
What knot are you using on the floro to line?

All are 2 lb test
6' piece of Trout Magnet floro
3'-4' piece of Seaguar floro
Sometimes I will make the Seaguar longer if I am going to try new colors or combinations which calls for a lot of additional tying.
I just use a simple surgeons knot.

Ed are you using two Trout magnets at the same time? The way I'm reading this. Do you tie both leaders to the main line.

I think he means using two leaders to one trout magnet.
In fly fishing that would be the same as a 6' trout magnet fluorocarbon line as your leader then a 3'-4' section of Seaguar fluorocarbon as a tippet section to the trout magnet all tied to the 2lb SOS.
