If you’re looking for information or resources related to the Midge TFO Fly Reel (BOX ONLY and Owner’s Instructions), here are some steps you can take:
1. Contact Temple Fork Outfitters (TFO) Directly
– Visit the [TFO website](https://www.templeforkoutfitters.com/) and use their customer service/contact form to request a PDF copy of the owner’s manual or replacement documentation.
– They may also assist with locating original packaging if needed.
2. Check Online Manual Repositories
– Websites like Manualslib, Manualsonline, or Sportfish Forum Archives sometimes have scanned copies of older fly reel manuals.
– Search: “Midge TFO Fly Reel manual PDF”.
3. Fly Fishing Forums & Communities
– Post on forums like Fly Fishing Talk (FFF), Reddit’s r/flyfishing, or The North American Fly Fishing Forum—someone might have a scanned copy or spare box/instructions.
4. eBay or Auction Sites
– Occasionally, original boxes/manuals are sold separately. Search for “TFO Midge Reel box” or “TFO reel instructions”.
5. Local Fly Shops
– Some shops keep old paperwork or can reach out to TFO reps for assistance.
Note:
The Midge reel is a compact model designed for small-stream fishing. If you can’t find the exact manual, general TFO reel care guidelines apply (drag maintenance, cleaning, etc.). Let me know if you’d like help with specific reel features!
Would you like assistance identifying the reel’s specs or year of manufacture based on markings?
