Got a spare reel stamped "Pflueger" or a Montague Imperial?

My maternal Grandfather, who I never new... Presbyterian Minister, baptized my older Brother who bears his first and middle names, Robert Clark. He and my Grandmother would spend 4-6 weeks every Summer on Burnside Lake just outside Ely, MN. Fish were caught, kept and cleaned, and eaten daily. RC designed and built the bicycle-wheeled cart you see in the photo, was stolen one off-season. :(
I really wish he would have lived long enough for me to have gotten to know him. He had a heart attack right around the age of 50 - medicine was not very well equipped like it is today, and he was gone.
Trying to drag some more fish pictures and stories out into the open :D
