King and Queen Fish Hatchery (KQFH), established in 1939, is a DWR “warm water” facility located forty miles northeast of Richmond, Virginia in King and Queen County. When originally built, the facility’s main target species was largemouth bass.
There are four warm water facilities, that hatch and rear warm water species, like muskellunge, northern pike, striped bass, walleyes, catfish, largemouth bass, bluegill and redear sunfish. These warm water stations provide 2-5 million fish for annual stocking in Virginia waters.
The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) maintains a robust network of fish hatcheries to keep Virginia’s waters teeming with rainbow, brook, and brown trout in addition to bluegill, redear sunfish, walleye, musky, crappie, saugeye, and striped bass.
