Sends some flowers and offer to Skype on your computer with those at the funeral. That easily should suffice and this way you get to go fishing and virtually attend the funeral.

I got to be honest... I'm leaning go fishing. Is your attendance at the funeral going to make that big of a difference?

I agree. Funerals are selfish at their very core as they are for the mourning of living and not the dead. If it was truly about the dead, then she would be cremated and a ceremony could be done for the spreading of her ashes, possibly at the lake with you.

Set them up at the camp, go to the funeral, go back to the camp when done.
Friends are more important than fishing...sometimes
