About Us

Erie & Creek Tackle was founded in the small town of Tillsonburg, Ontario, Canada and opened it's retail location November 2021, although the idea ran for a time before. 

Aside from hunting, there was not a shop dedicated towards fishing within a 30 minute radios during that time in which Erie & Creek Tackle was to fill this void and make fishing more accessible for the Tillsonburg & surrounding area. 

Through the shop, a foundation was built with a community of patrons that we are entirely thankful for, the 4 walls within the Simcoe Street shop held many stories in the 4 years the retail shop location was open. 

In 2025 Erie & Creek Tackle realized that the Trade Wars were going to make some changes within the outdoor industry, and changes did they make. With the closure of key important warehouses in Canada, there was a major question of how inventory levels would be maintained, and also the cost of inventory for a small growing family business. 

During the 2025 Winter Holiday's Erie & Creek Tackle made the decision to close down the Simcoe Street, Tillsonburg retail location and maneuver over to an e-Commerce only platform in which we are today. Our goal was to fulfill the Walleye & Steelhead market locally, and abroad with the Great Lakes region. 

At the time of updating this (Sept 2026), we have found the most success surrounding Steelhead/Float Fishing. Our primary focus will continue to be with Steelhead, but we are not losing sight on the Great Lakes Walleye either.

Thank you for your continued support of Erie & Creek Tackle through the past 5 years, and through the changes we've had. If you're a new customer, thank you for taking the time to read About Us, and we look forward to assisting you with tight lines!
