You also have enjoyed encountering him at prominent fly fairs across Europe. He embodies the true essence of an ambassador for the sport of fly fishing.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlways immersed in a whirlwind of activities, Steve juggles several ongoing projects. He is deeply engaged in promoting Ahrex Hooks within the United States. While Steve has dedicated many years to honing his skills in tying and developing baitfish patterns, primarily tailored for stripers and bass, his fascination extends to various other aspects of fly fishing. One of Steve's distinctive qualities is his unwavering commitment to acknowledging the contributions of others; he rarely attributes his creations solely to himself, recognizing the influence of those who came before him.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLike countless enthusiasts, Steve's journey into fly fishing ignited from an article, followed by the amusing scene of his father's flies ensnared in the branches of nearby trees along a stream. In response to his request for more flies, Steve's father advised him to become a fly tier if he wanted to continue to fly fishing. Little did anyone know that this seemingly simple advice would lead Steve down a path of exceptional creativity. This is evident in his baitfish patterns, and bomber flies, which exquisitely showcase his reverence for natural materials. His exploration of the art and craft of tying flies has garnered him numerous accolades, but one award holds a special place. In 2017, Steve was bestowed with the esteemed Claudio D'Angelo Award in Castel di Sangro, Abruzzo, Italy. The significance of this recognition was magnified by the fact that both of Steve's parents hailed from the Abruzzo Region, adding an extra layer of meaning to the honor.","image":{"created_at":"2023-08-11T15:20:17-06:00","alt":null,"width":400,"height":400,"src":"\/\/rainysflies.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Steve_Silverio.jpg?v=1691788817"}}]
