Luckily, I've been around long enough to have caught a fair number of trout. Last year, for the first time, I actually PAID to fish, at an Outfitter's in Quebec. And what they call Quebec Reds are actually speckled trout.

Why is this?

First time I've heard that Quebec Reds are a subspecies of Speckies. I think it's a marketing ploy on their part.

I guess it's the same reason why you call (Lake) a (Lac)

And (wolf) a (loup)

Most of my searches come back indicating that "Quebec Reds" are in fact Arctic Char.

The Quebec regs consider specs as char and the limit is 10. I have caught reds before, and they are really red.

The reds meat is a little different too, i find it a bit sweeter. once cooked it stays more red then the specks.
It`s like candy!!!!!!
Smoked in a cognac and maple marinade just insane

Here is a "Quebec Red" I caught up in the Pontiac a couple of years ago.
I gave it to a friend of mine, and he said it was the best fish he had ever eaten.
