The event, usually held in May but canceled in 2020 and postponed this year, will feature fly fishing guides and fishing industry vendors; food trucks; children\u2019s activities; live music by the Carolina Soul Band; clean water, outdoor activity and wildlife advocates; and WNC craft beer vendors. A special seasonal brew crafted by Sylva\u2019s Innovation Brewing will be unveiled in honor of the event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur seasonal beer will be the Hibiscus Lime Tart Blonde Ale,\u201d says Innovation Brewing\u2019s general manager Kevin Morden. \u201cThe floral, earthy notes pair perfectly with the tartness of the lime, offering something that is light but not packed full of hops.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A portion of the proceeds from each pint sold will benefit the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce\u2019s continued operation of this festival. Proceeds from the festival will also benefit Trout Unlimited\u2019s \u201cTrout in the Classroom\u201d programming for 2021 and the \u201cKids Fishing Day\u201d by the Jackson County Parks and Recreation Department.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson County is the home of the WNC Fly Fishing Trail\u00ae and the NC Trout Capital\u00ae. The WNC Fly Fishing Trail\u00ae features 15 hot fishing spots that run from the northern end of the county to the southern end along the Tuckasegee River. Jackson County is stocked with more trout than any other county in the state and is home to the largest recorded rainbow trout ever caught in North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p><em>Learn more at <a href=\"http:\/\/GreeningUptheMountains.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GreeningUptheMountains.com<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/HookLineDrinkerFest.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HookLineDrinkerFest.com<\/a> and on each festival\u2019s Facebook page.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Greening Up the Mountains Festival (GUTM) is a heritage arts event that, historically, celebrates the arrival of spring.
