This is one of two fish hatcheries in Smyth County, the other being south of Marion on Route 16. This facility produces bass for stocking area streams and lakes. From the Virginia Fisheries website. "The Buller Fish Hatchery near Sugar Grove annually produces northern pike muskellunge, smallmouth bass, and walleyes, as well as 50,000 trout. Trout used to stock Clinch Mountain WMA (Big Tumbling Creek) and Crooked Creek fee-fishing areas are produced year-round. Intensive rearing of muskellunge and northern pike is underway from April through June."
