Great anime! More about friendship than fishing, but fishing is ever present. This is probably actually the closest anime I've ever seen to Laid-Back Camp (which is my favorite, and very nearly perfect).
I don't even really like fishing, and I still don't have an urge to after watching this show, but I do find it more interesting than I did before (and I'm really hungry for fish now too). I loved the information about different kinds of fishing too! I love camping, biking, hiking, and other outdoorsy things - so it's kind of in my wheelhouse anyway.
The different character dynamics are really interesting! Hiyori and Koharu almost have a similar dynamic to Nadeshiko and Rin (although I think Rin is much more introverted than Hiyori). I think it was great they ended up being sisters, and that their friend group grew together from there. It felt really cozy, and the messages throughout of family, friendship, being yourself, handling new challenges, and even lightly touching on grief, were handled gracefully.
I feel like I can really identify with the characters, and feel like I'm really going on adventures with them.
There isn't really much, if any, fan service (which I more than appreciate, since I absolutely hate it).
The cooking looked really yummy, and made me hungry. I actually wrote down how to cook the rainbow trout from the episode where the girls camped on their own (I hope it turns out ok).
Give this a try if you like hobby anime, or relaxing, slice of life anime.
