Retired teacher is still schooling those fish<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Summer is young and already Kay Hawley has a boatful of walleyes to her credit.<\/p>\n

Kay, of Edina, is a lifelong angler. Though her \u201cwonderful husband,\u201d David Hawley, doesn\u2019t fish, Kay nonetheless wets a line whenever possible \u2014 oftentimes with the couple\u2019s son, Doug, 35, who, like his mother, is an eager angler.<\/p>\n

Mother and son have fished together since Doug was a boy. A longtime music teacher in Hopkins, Kay retired a year ago and hopes now to expand her fishing horizons.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the years, Doug and I have fished on Lac la Croix, Mille Lacs, Vermilion, Lake of the Woods and Leech,\u201d Kay said. \u201cI\u2019ve traveled some, too, fishing in Sitka, Alaska, and on Reindeer Lake in Saskatchewan. I hope to do more of it now that I\u2019ve got more time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Already this summer Kay has fished on Lake of the Woods, and she and Doug just returned from Budd\u2019s Gunisao Lake Lodge, located 250 miles north of Winnipeg.<\/p>\n

The two accompanied a friend, Al Bite, who owns a metro area air charter service. Bite\u2019s son, Andy, years ago was a tuba player in a school band Kay directed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe walleye bite at Gunisao was constant,\u201d Kay said. \u201cIf your line was in the water, you had a fish on. Many times Doug and I had walleyes on at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n

A member of the Minnesota Valley In-Fisherman fishing club (the only woman member when she joined, she won \u201crookie of the year\u201d honors), Kay also is comfortable on metro waters. Aiding her efforts this year is a fancy GPS\/depth finder\/fish locator her husband gave her as a retirement gift, along with a Gary Roach walleye rod her \u201cteacher friends\u201d bestowed on her on the same occasion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
