And you'll need to be more mindful about essential toiletries and convenience items, their weight starts to add up over a multi-km hike. Airline-sized bottles for any liquid will be more than enough for a weekend. Prepared first aid kits are too bulky, just bring important components: bandages, gauze, ace wrap, antiseptic, aspirin, antihistamine. Sticking your finger on a fishhook can become a big problem without anything to sterilize the wound.
Mummy sleeping bags roll the tightest so I'd go for that. Bulkiest items will be tent, sleeping pad, and fishing rod, make sure you have a way to secure all 3 to your bag. Camping near a lake/river risks extreme temp drops at night with enough dew to soak through tent lining, so tarp(s) and garbage bags definitely. Bring a Mylar blanket, fits in your pocket and extremely good heat insulator. Plates and forks are nice luxuries (plastic is lightest and cheapest) but only truly necessary cookware is something to boil water and something to cut with.
Small spool of extra fishing line potentially very useful, worth the space to bring. Even if you're confident you'll catch enough fish to eat, bring at least 2000 calories of trail snacks and backup food. Jerky can be used as bait, and if thrown in boiling water with veggies/forage can make a bootleg stew. Table salt, breadcrumbs, and small plastic bags let you batter small panfish and throw them on the fire, the cooked salty skin peels back like a wrapper so you can eat bluegill/sunfish/bream/etc.
And of course, you should never leave home without a water bottle, iodine tablets, multitool, 2+ fire starters, and a flashlight/headlamp. 3 days without food sucks, but 2 weeks of diarrhea from shit water sucks worse.
