Who do you ask? There's conflicting information. Plus rivers are long and it may be safe upstream but not downstream. Is there a government office I can just call. If so is that the one useful thing the government does?

This river I'm looking at one site says there's poop and insecticides in the water. The other says the fishing is great!.

How do I get to the bottom of this without spending years studying chemistry and biochemistry and testing the water myself?

Catch & release for fish. You state DNR should have water quality readings for every body od water. Also... If the river has white water you might want to grab a good river map.
