That chili looks fantastic. I am very jealous of your upcoming trip down the Deschutes. The Deschutes is one of my favorite rivers to float. A buddy with a drift boat and I used to do a trip or two a year. The Deschutes red side trout are incredible fun and the salmon fly hatch is downright insane. I'm not a particularly squeemish person but those big ole salmon flies give me the heebie jeebies when they fall down my shirt. What amazing fishing during the hatch though.
I caught my all time largest steelhead on a fly on the Deschutes...definitely a day to be remembered. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
