Jackson County is home to the Western North Carolina Fly Fishing Trail - the nation’s first.

The trail maps out 15 prime spots to catch brown, rainbow and brook trout. From wide-open, crystal clear rivers to secluded Great Smoky Mountain streams, the WNC Fly Fishing Trail has you covered. Visit us at www.FlyFishingTrail. com for a map to download, descriptions and GPS coordinates for all 15 spots, plus a photo gallery and weekly fishing report.

In 2016, the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce led the effort for our home to become the official Trout Capital of N.C. Legislators on both the N.C. House and Senate floors recognized Jackson County as the “Premier Trout Fishing Destination” in the state.

Follow the N.C. Trout Capital at www.nctroutcapital.com.

Jackson County contains 4,600 miles of trout streams and receives an annual stocking of 92,800 trout, which is the most of any county in the state. It also features the state’s longest contiguous stretch of N.C. Mountain Heritage Trout Waters. Jackson County is the home of the state record for the largest rainbow trout ever caught.

Jackson County has 31 public access points for fishing; supports fishing classes for children; is home to the nation’s largest river cleanup day in the country; and plays host to its own trout festival and a chapter of Trout Unlimited.

There are now six retail fly shops and more than 25 guides in Jackson County.

Harris Regional Cancer Center Expands to Serve Western North Carolina

Harris Regional Cancer Center at Harris Regional Hospital recently completed a major addition that has expanded access to oncology services in western North Carolina.

The project features state-of-the-art radiation therapy technology to benefit patients and families across western North Carolina with more advanced treatments, for more types of conditions, and eliminating travel to distant locations.

David S. Thomas, MD has been providing radiation therapy services at Harris Regional Cancer Center for more than two decades. Jarred Tanksley, MD joined Dr. Thomas in 2020, having completed a residency in radiation oncology at Duke University Medical Center. Harris Regional Cancer Center includes a team of dedicated staff members who are trained at the highest levels of their professions.

Sylva’s Holiday

Fireworks

48

Jackson County Chamber of Commerce

Our Town

In 2020, the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce and Jackson County Parks and Recreation Department teamed up to provide fireworks in downtown Sylva for the Christmas holidays. The two organizations are proudly going to do it again on Dec. 17, 2021 at 7:30 p.m. in downtown Sylva.

In 2020, we all needed our spirits lifted after enduring perhaps the strangest year in history due to the Covid 19 pandemic. This was a way to be socially distant, but to also enjoy some holiday cheer with friends and family. We even provide music on the sidewalks. All you need to do is provide the spirit and come make some memories!

Organizers will also be encouraging consumers to do their holiday shopping locally with our small businesses, eating and dining at our smaller hometown restaurants and breweries, and enjoying the holidays safely in Jackson County.

We look forward to seeing you!
