when were "redband" trout invented? I never heard of them until recently.

            Redband were never invented. They are a species that inhabit several states. Pat and I have caught them in native ranges in Montana, Nevada, Idaho, Oregon that I can think of off the bat.

          That could be how long ago was that? I suppose a rainbow trout is a rainbow trout no matter where you are. Similar as a bluegill looking fish no matter what they are is called a perch.

Bluegill are  divided into subspecies now too?

Is there a list showing dates and reasons for changes in taxonomy, or do the experts just come up with new species on a whim?

          I said bluegill looking fish, correct?   Many call bluegill LOOKING fish perch.

1: a bronze-colored European freshwater cyprinid fish (Abramis brama)
broadly : any of various related fishes
2aany of various marine fish (family Sparidae) related to the porgy called also sea bream
2bany of various freshwater sunfishes (Lepomis and related genera)
especially : BLUEGILL

You must be using the urban dictionary.  Look up Bream on urban dictionary @bfishn read through the answers.  That will open your eyes on just what it means. 

   On second thought better not do that. I said PERCH not bream.😂

 On second thought @bfishn please don't look up perch on there either. Stay off the urban dictionary PEROID.
