Fishing or boating friends who aren't conservative old men (fedia.io)

I don't think this is what this community was intended for, but I don't think there's anywhere else, either.

I've been trying for years to find a fishing buddy or a boating buddy who is not a conservative old man. I have encountered some very friendly conservative old men. I have come across people who suggested a fly fishing class.

I can't do fly fishing due to physical limitations.

Any suggestions on where to find such a buddy would be appreciated.

I live in Seattle but can travel a little bit. I have a boat near Tacoma. I'd love to try some river fishing as long as it doesn't involve a hike (physical limitations).

I also have a little Hi-Laker boat that I'm looking to offload, in case anyone's interested.

just have a few drinks at the bar and ask the bartender if they know someone your age who's interested in an extra hand for some fishing. if you're don't get a good response ask where you should ask
