Notes: The idea for the A.A. (Alberta Al) Bucktail Beauty series of streamers came to Alan while he was already knee deep in a rainbow of bucktail tying orders of Thunder Creek Streamers. Alan had been reading about Preston Jennings patterns, and had been searching for an easy to tie streamer pattern that he could vary to cover minnow colors from perch to whitefish. The pattern is simple and quick to tie and can be tied to match any bait fish by changing up the colors of bucktail and body tinsel. A.A. Bucktail Beauties #2 and #3 can be seen below, and we will be featuring more from the series later in the project.
