Richmond Hill Fish Hatchery

About Richmond Hill Fish Hatchery

Richmond Hill Fish Hatchery spans 87 acres in Bryan County and operates 31 fish rearing ponds plus three Kids' Fishing Event ponds where visitors can catch bluegill, redear sunfish, largemouth bass, striped bass, and hybrid bass. The hatchery produces Atlantic striped bass fry, hybrid striped bass fry, and white bass fry—the sole supplier of these species to Georgia's inland fishery. A state-of-the-art hatchery building completed a major renovation to expand production capacity. The annual Kids Fishing Event draws families to fish the dedicated ponds stocked with eight-inch catfish raised on-site. Visitors also explore a one-mile nature trail through the property to observe wildlife. School groups and families tour the working hatchery facilities to learn how striped and hybrid bass propagation supports Georgia's fishing opportunities.
