Based on statistical data collected on the Varzuga River in 1991-2020, the results of recreational fishery of the Atlantic salmon on the basis of “catch and withdraw” and “catch and release” principle are considered. The paper identifies the issues concerning the calculation of quotas, the catch data reliability and the absence of the concept of returning the harvested aquatic biological resources to their habitat in the fishing legislation. Measures for the solution of these issues are proposed.
