...What do you think, just because they didn't show the three of them going fishing a hundred times in the movie that they didn't do this often? I think Fredo like to be with Anthony. I think he found less pressure being with the kid. Times were relaxed by the time they went fishing....
In addition...we (and Fredo) are set up for the shooting on the lake by the earlier scene in which Fredo and Anthony are together and fishing, and Fredo talks about the secret Hail Mary.
All are lulled into believing that everything's ok between Fredo and the Family, and he can relax and spend idle time with his nephew. He's content...and we are content for him.
No, Neri isn't with them until the last one...but like fathhersson states, doesn't mean the 3 of them didn't take the same boat out onto the lake several times before.
Oh...and Fredo didn't know.
