"It's Only Fishing is more than a book; it's an intimate angler's journey where every cast and catch leaves an indelible mark on the reader. I laughed aloud, squinted in anticipation, and wholeheartedly immersed myself in Joe's storytelling. I simply couldn't put it down."
- April Vokey, fly-fisher, casting instructor, guide, and speaker
 
2020 was a year of change. Caught between occupations and a global pandemic, 24-year-old Joe Jackson decided to write an essay for every fly-fishing trip he took. And just like the fishing itself, these essays drift from the metaphysical to the wholly matter-of-fact.

Joseph Jackson is a social studies teacher by day and a fly fisherman the rest of the time. If he's not on the water, he's either pining for it or writing about it. He's been published widely in the fly-fishing magazine world, where he and his wife, Emmie, also feature much of their photography. He lives in Anchorage but part of his heart will always belong to the Wyoming he grew up in. He was last spotted at a gas station somewhere in the Last Frontier with a fly rod sticking out the back window. It's Only Fishing is his first book.
