About

We're Tyler and Bria Atkins, owners and operators of The Crappie Store, located along the banks of the Sydenham River in the heart of town, at 102 Metcalfe St., Dresden, Ontario, Canada. 

Our journey began in 2016 when we purchased what was an old hardware store.  Our vision was to transform it into a small town bait and tackle shop.  Since then we have been serving the community to get out fishing our local waters such as: Sydenham River, Thames River, St. Clair River, Lake St. Clair, as well as Lake Erie. 

The Sydenham River runs deep in our blood.  Here we are on our wedding day cruising to forever together in 2009! We've both spent the greater portion of our lives right on the banks of this unique waterway and we're here to help you enjoy her as much as we do.
