When Abe and Patsy Chavez pioneered a masterpiece which was able to accommodate anglers with all they would need. Abe and Patsy moved to Navajo Dam & started their business before the dam was built and dedicated in 1962. They each have deep family roots in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado with family histories dating back several hundred years. The young couple provided services to the dam construction workers and later to fishermen and sportsmen visiting the San Juan. Once the dam was completed in 1962 the San Juan River became one of the finest trout fishing resources in the country. Rainbow and Brown trout were stocked in the San Juan following the construction of the dam. The low water temperatures, typically low 40's near the dam, clear water and abundant trout food sources made the San Juan River into a fabulous fishery. During the 1960's it became clear that the San Juan would be a very special place therefore, the State of New Mexico set aside about 3.5 miles of river immediately below the dam as Quality Water. Today this is the Special Trout Water section in the NM Fishing Proclamation. As Abe's grew, the needs of sportsmen continued including a Motel, Grocery store, RV park, Fishing Guide services, Boat Storage, Restaurant and Lounge . Their business prospered and became a popular family business with each of their children working in the fishing business. Their love and passion for people, family and fishing was evident in their hospitality and dedication. Abe's has hosted world renown fishers and photographers from around the world. The rich history and love that is a part of Abe's Motel and Fly Shop will continue to grace and bless the hands of the new owner. It has been said that trout only live in beautiful places. The San Juan River that flows through the high desert of Northern New Mexico only offers credence to the quote. From its humble origin high on the snow-capped peaks of the San Juan Mountains of Colorado, its crystal clear waters tumble and cascade down remote canyons and rocky mountainsides, until it is gathered and harnessed in its impoundment of Navajo Lake, straddling the border of two great western states. The release from deep behind the high walls of the dam that hold these waters in restraint and issue forth- gin clear, highly oxygenated, and nutrient rich, provide a perfect habitat for the trout below. It is a place that fly fishermen dream about, when they dream about places to fish. If it only offered beautiful, healthy fish that number in the thousands, then the San Juan would be enough to earn its accolades as one of the top destinations to fish in the U.S. But there are more; far more, reasons that make this river a Mecca for trout fishermen the world over. Its broad flats, interspersed with deep pools, runs, tailouts, and eddies, make it one of the most wade-friendly rivers in the West. The predictable and controlled consistent flows also create a tailwater fishery that is a pleasure to float by driftboat, without encountering anything beyond intermediate class waters, unlike many other well known western rivers. And then there is the scenery-miles of it. Picture gin clear water flowing between the bluffs of high mesas, dotted with pinon pine and juniper, changing in color as the sun makes its arc through a bluebird New Mexico sky. Picture the home of ospreys, eagles, and great blue herons along the banks of a river in the high desert, lined with giant cottonwoods and willows. Picture the home of mule deer, elk, river otters, beaver, coyotes, and mountain lions. Picture all of this; if you can, and when the sun begins to sink behind a spectacular horizon and the sky begins to fill with deep hues of reds, pinks, and yellows that turn the ochre buttes and bluffs into a remarkable natural light show, you will know why they call this river and its surroundings The Land of Enchantment. - Jay Walden

Abe's si trova su 8,11 acri nella bellezza del deserto della contea di San Juan, NM. Circondati da cespugli di salvia e alte mesas, scogliere e valli ricoperte di pignoni, le albe e i tramonti sono mozzafiato con colori che devono essere visti per essere creduti. Questa iconica azienda a conduzione familiare comprende un negozio di mosche ben fornito, un motel di 56 camere, un parcheggio per camper, un negozio di alimentari, una stazione di servizio, un ristorante, un bar e una lounge.

Le camere verranno fornite come mostrato comprensivo di tutti gli arredi, lenzuola e asciugamani. Il ristorante era uno dei pochi della zona, e un luogo popolare per chi viaggia, soggiorna in loco o trascorre la giornata a pescare.

Il salone è un meraviglioso punto di ritrovo per dopo una lunga giornata di pesca.

Essendo uno dei pochi negozi in giro, Abe's era davvero uno sportello unico per qualsiasi pescatore. * L'acquirente deve verificare tutte le dimensioni e le misure.

A breve distanza in auto dalle famigerate, ma relativamente remote acque di qualità del fiume San Juan e della diga Navajo, Abe's si trova in una posizione ideale per capitalizzare su tutte le esigenze di pesca, alloggio e ristorazione delle folle di visitatori che frequentano il fiume e il bacino.

Si prega di contattare l'agente di quotazione per informazioni finanziarie relative all'attività. La storia di Abe risale a oltre 60 anni fa, al 1958. Quando Abe e Patsy Chavez aprirono la strada a un capolavoro che era in grado di accogliere i pescatori con tutto ciò di cui avevano bisogno. Abe e Patsy si trasferirono alla diga di Navajo e iniziarono la loro attività prima che la diga fosse costruita e dedicata nel 1962. Ognuno di loro ha profonde radici familiari nel nord del New Mexico e nel sud del Colorado, con storie familiari che risalgono a diverse centinaia di anni fa. La giovane coppia forniva servizi agli operai della costruzione della diga e in seguito ai pescatori e agli sportivi che visitavano il San Juan. Una volta completata la diga nel 1962, il fiume San Juan divenne una delle migliori risorse per la pesca alla trota del paese. La trota iridea e la trota fario sono state ripopolate nel San Juan dopo la costruzione della diga. Le basse temperature dell'acqua, in genere intorno ai 40 gradi vicino alla diga, l'acqua limpida e le abbondanti fonti di cibo per le trote hanno reso il fiume San Juan una favolosa attività di pesca. Durante gli anni '60 divenne chiaro che il San Juan sarebbe stato un posto molto speciale, quindi lo Stato del New Mexico mise da parte circa 3,5 miglia di fiume immediatamente sotto la diga come acqua di qualità. Oggi questa è la sezione Special Trout Water nel NM Fishing Proclamation. Man mano che Abe's cresceva, le esigenze degli sportivi continuavano, tra cui un motel, un negozio di alimentari, un parco camper, servizi di guida di pesca, rimessaggio barche, ristorante e lounge. La loro attività prosperò e divenne una popolare azienda familiare con ciascuno dei loro figli che lavoravano nel settore della pesca. Il loro amore e la loro passione per le persone, la famiglia e la pesca erano evidenti nella loro ospitalità e dedizione. Abe's ha ospitato pescatori e fotografi di fama mondiale provenienti da tutto il mondo. La ricca storia e l'amore che fanno parte di Abe's Motel and Fly Shop continueranno ad abbellire e benedire le mani del nuovo proprietario. È stato detto che le trote vivono solo in posti bellissimi. Il fiume San Juan che scorre attraverso l'alto deserto del New Mexico settentrionale offre solo credito alla citazione. Dalla sua umile origine in alto sulle cime innevate delle montagne di San Juan in Colorado, le sue acque cristalline precipitano e scendono a cascata lungo canyon remoti e pendii rocciosi, fino a quando non viene raccolto e imbrigliato nel suo sequestro del lago Navajo, a cavallo del confine di due grandi stati occidentali. Il rilascio dalle profondità dietro le alte pareti della diga che trattengono queste acque e sgorgano limpide, altamente ossigenate e ricche di sostanze nutritive, forniscono un habitat perfetto per le trote sottostanti. È un luogo che i pescatori a mosca sognano, quando sognano posti dove pescare.Se offrisse solo pesci belli e sani che si contano a migliaia, allora il San Juan sarebbe sufficiente per guadagnarsi i suoi riconoscimenti come una delle migliori destinazioni per pescare negli Stati Uniti. Ma c'è di più; molti di più, motivi che fanno di questo fiume una Mecca per i pescatori di trote di tutto il mondo. Le sue ampie pianure, intervallate da pozze profonde, ruscelli, code e vortici, lo rendono uno dei fiumi più adatti ai guadi dell'Ovest. I flussi costanti prevedibili e controllati creano anche una pesca in acque di coda che è un piacere galleggiare in barca alla deriva, senza incontrare nulla al di là delle acque di classe intermedia, a differenza di molti altri fiumi occidentali ben noti. E poi c'è il paesaggio, chilometri di esso. Immagina l'acqua limpida che scorre tra le scogliere di alte mesas, punteggiate da pini e ginepri, che cambiano colore mentre il sole fa il suo arco attraverso un cielo azzurro del New Mexico. Immagina la casa di falchi pescatori, aquile e grandi aironi azzurri lungo le rive di un fiume nell'alto deserto, fiancheggiata da pioppi e salici giganti. Immagina la casa di cervi mulo, alci, lontre di fiume, castori, coyote e leoni di montagna. Immaginate tutto questo; se potete, e quando il sole inizia a tramontare dietro un orizzonte spettacolare e il cielo inizia a riempirsi di profonde sfumature di rosso, rosa e giallo che trasformano le butte ocra e le scogliere in uno straordinario spettacolo di luce naturale, saprete perché chiamano questo fiume e i suoi dintorni La Terra dell'Incanto. - Jay Walden
