COFFEE BREAK
Girlfriend maintains a ‘fan club’ on Facebook
Other than this, we seem to have
a healthy relationship with the
occasional, normal hiccups. I would
like to take it to the next level, but
I can’t help wondering if the Face-
book habit is a sign that she needs
more than what our relationship is
giving her. Please advise. — Hesi-
tant in Ohio
Dear Hesitant: Her Facebook
habit may be a sign that your lady
friend is insecure — or conceited —
about her looks, which is why she
encourages these “fans” by “heart-
ing” their comments. Frankly, it’s
sad that she needs more validation
than she can get from one per-
son, but that’s the woman you’re
Dear Abby: I’ve been dating
the same woman for more than
two years. She is a beautiful lady
who has quite a few male “fans” on
Facebook, mostly from before we
met. What bothers me, and I don’t
understand why, is her habit of
posting selfi es and then loving the
comments from other men about
her looks. We have discussed this
many times, but she can’t seem to
stop.
FISHING REPORT
MALHEUR RESERVOIR
Fishing is great for
rainbow trout from 10 to
20+ inches. This reservoir
was recently stocked with
tagged trophy trout, some
are marked with reward
tags. If you catch a tagged
trout please report it here:
MyODFW.com/tagteam.
IT’S FREE FISHING
WEEKEND IN OREGON
Everyone can fi sh, clam
and crab for free in Oregon
on Saturday and Sunday,
June 5-6.
No fi shing licenses or
tags (including a Combined
Angling Tag, Columbia River
Basin Endorsement or Two-
Rod Validation) are required
by Oregon residents or
nonresidents to fi sh, crab
or clam in Oregon on those
dates.
Although no licenses
or tags are required these
two days, all other fi shing
regulations apply including
closures, bag limits and size
restrictions.
With Oregon facing a
serious drought this sum-
mer, warmwater fi shing is a
good choice for Free Fishing
Weekend and throughout the
summer.
Oregon will have one
more Free Fishing Weekend
in 2021—the two days after
Thanksgiving, Friday and
Saturday, Nov. 26-27.
involved with. If she were seeing
these men in the real world, I
would say you have a serious prob-
lem. But she’s not, so it shouldn’t
present a threat unless you make
it one.
Dear Abby: My grandson, who I
haven’t seen in 10 years, is getting
married to a girl I don’t know. My
husband, “Hank,” and I are invited
to the wedding. We live 1,000 miles
away, so we have to book a fl ight,
reserve a hotel and pay for all our
meals.
Hank has been waiting the last
three months for a date for knee
surgery. Most of the time, he’s in
pain — especially when he walks.
GRANDE RONDE RIVER
The fl ows on the Grande
Ronde have been good for
boating but the fi shing has
been slow. Look for fi sh
in areas where fl ows are
very slow like back eddies
and river margins below
structure. Bass fi shing
should pick up in the next
few weeks as fl ows drop
and the water temperatures
begin to rise.
IMNAHA RIVER
The fl ows are moderate
and conducive to fi shing.
The Imnaha will begin to see
large hatches of salmon-
fl ies and golden stonefl ies,
which can make for some
good trout fi shing. Anglers
should be aware that some
construction/utility work is
occurring on the lower Imna-
ha, and trucks will be on the
road hauling equipment and
materials. Anglers should
use caution when traveling
in the area. Spring chinook
and bull trout will be present
in the system and must be
released unharmed.
My daughter thinks we should
postpone his surgery to attend the
wedding. What do you think? —
Debating in the South
Dear Debating: Of course your
daughter wants her father at her
son’s wedding. That she would be
disappointed — as would the both
of you — is understandable. But
does she really want him there
limping, wincing and in constant
pain? Remind her that it has taken
three months to get this surgery
calendared. Tell her you will be
with them in spirit on their special
day, but her father’s health must
come fi rst. Then stick to your guns.
Dear Abby: I work in a small
anglers are starting to catch
a few early kokanee. Wal-
lowa Lake has been stocked
and fi shing for trout is good.
Spring is a good time to
fi sh for lake trout as they’re
active and can sometimes
be found in the shallow
areas. Methods typically
involve good electronics,
downriggers and sometimes
jigging.
WALLOWA COUNTY
PONDS
The early trout stocking
for Marr Pond has been
canceled through late June
to accommodate improve-
ments to accessibility. With
the exception of Marr Pond,
all stocked waterbodies have
received at least the they’re
fi rst stocking and fi shing
should be good.
Forest ponds are mostly
accessible and some have
been recently stocked.
PHILLIPS RESERVOIR
Due to extreme drought,
Phillips Reservoir is just
17% full. Rainbow were
stocked during May, which
means fi shing should be
quite good (more fi sh,
smaller area) well into June.
Please note that those look-
ing to launch a boat should
avoid the Union Creek
Campground boat launch as
the water level is far below
the launch; please use the
boat ramp near Mason
Dam.

WEATHER HISTORY
Out-of-season frosts proved fatal to many
crops, and snow fell in Boston, in June
1815. 1815 was known as the “year with-
out a summer.” Strong evidence credits a
volcanic eruption in Indonesia that year.

WALLOWA RIVER
The Wallowa River can fi sh
well for trout throughout the
spring as long as conditions
allow. With lower expected
fl ows this year the river
should fi sh well throughout
the spring. The Wallowa has
very good caddis and golden
stone hatches that last
through June and can spur
some very good fi shing.
Look for fi sh to pull up close
to the banks to escape faster
fl owing water.
MAGONE LAKE

lent the last few weeks, and

offi ce of 15 people. The person
next to me is diabetic and wears
a beeper that goes off all day long.
Am I supposed to endure this an-
noying sound even though she can
put it on vibrate? — Disturbed in
Texas
Dear Disturbed: No, you are
not. Ask your co-worker if putting
her beeper on vibrate would work
for her, because the sound distracts
you. If she’s willing to do that,
your problem is solved. However,
if she isn’t, then it may be time to
discuss this with your supervisor
or employer because it may be pos-
sible to relocate your workstation
to another area.
