Re: Quebec Reds
This is a "quebec red", notice the absence of red
Re: Quebec Reds
YES !!! You found 'em buddy!! THAT is a true Quebec Red Trout aka landlocked arctic char. Beauty catch!!
Doesn't look like a brook trout at all does it.
I bet the ice went off that lake about 4 days before you caught it.

Re: Quebec Reds
slabfloater33 I'm sure you were joking around with your last comment as it couldn't possibly be taken seriously.
Not only does the tiny fish I have in my hands look nothing like a splake but it came from a lake I targeted specifically for it's stocked arctic char. The lake has never been stocked with splake in the past nor does it have the two parent species required to make the hybrid species you claim it to be. If you are interested in learning how to better distinguish trout, I'd be happy to help.

Re: Quebec Reds
So someone deleted a post because I referred to the loser in Ottawa as an Idiot? Wow. There are things about Ottawa I truly hate , political correctness and lack of a spine being 2 of them.

Re: Quebec Reds
That is indeed a very rare fish. You are correct the fish is a landlocked char. It is native to certain deep lakes in Maine, New Hampshire and Quebec. In Maine it is called Blueback trout, Quebec the Red Trout and NH the Sunapee Trout. It is distinguishable by its deeply forked tail and long thin body. They rarely get over a foot long.

Ive read this before as well, and was suprised to see some locally(To the Gatineau Valley) a little larger than 12'' from a outfitter.... Cookie cutters to say the least but beautiful!
Re: Quebec Reds
All this rain is barring me from getting to my normal Quebec Red lake, so here's a pic from earlier. A couple of15 inchers.

From a fisheries management perspective I mean of course, talking splake.

Re: Quebec Reds
That's an old Mitchel on that rod. Looks to be in great shape though. They wind backwards from any other reel I've ever seen. Found that out when I spooled up a reel for a customer and put the line on backwards. Nice fish too.
