...paired team acts like NBC's Huntley and Brinkley rather than single masterminds like CBS's Walter Cronkite. So, gasping in defeat-by-ratings after the San Francisco convention, CBS last week announced that it was replacing Anchorman Cronkite. Its new we-too duet consists of Robert Trout and Roger Mudd, who will be pingponging in Atlantic City at the Democratic Convention three weeks hence, while Cronkite merely carries on with the standard evening news broadcast he gives every week night of the year...
Both Kneecaps. But they work for their prize. Not even a trout has a more jaundiced opinion of hooks. Blacks like live bait (a 5-lb. bonito does nicely), and they want it practically spoonfed to them. Some marlin will tail a bait for half an hour, only to decide that it isn't fishy enough; others give fishermen heart failure by enthusiastically grabbing the bait, then sourly spitting it out. But when the captain finally yells, "Sock him!", it's Katy bar the door. A few weeks ago at Pinas, an unprepared angler was yanked right over...
...light, Scandinavians celebrate summer with feasting and fireworks, music festivals and folk dancing until dawn. At lunch hour, heliotropic beauties stand on every sidewalk with closed eyes and hiked skirts, "mooning at the sun," as the Swedes say. Restaurant tables are laden with summer delicacies: crayfish, trout in sour cream, fresh eels, wild strawberries.

Sleep in the next country...
...Connemara, on the Atlantic coast of Ireland's County Galway, is bleak in winter, but in summer has a dreamy, romantic beauty. Its heather-covered hills and mountains are dotted with trout-filled lakes and riverlets. The hotels are scattered but substantial, and some are notable, such as Ballynahinch Castle, where the fishing is famous. And the food is delicious: trout and salmon, lobsters and crayfish, clams, mussels and-come September-the famous Galway oysters. Not to mention the small Connemara sheep, which range the hills where wild herbs give their meat a rare, delicate taste...
...hunter's delight, Costa Rica is just as much an angler's paradise. Trusting, and innocently ignorant of flies with hooks, big rainbow trout swim serenely in never-fished mountain streams. Rivers churn with exotic fresh-water game-fish that cannot even be found in angling encyclopedias. There is the bobo, or bubblefish, an elusive silverside that dwells in the rapids and attacks a wet fly like something good to eat. There is the machaca, an acrobatic inhabitant of still-water pockets that looks like a cross between a herring and a white shad and often leaps itself...
