How would you rate the river cleanliness?

On a scale of 1-5, with a 4 being clean enough to swim in, and a 5 clean enough to drink...a 1 would be a possible Staph infection if you came in contact with it. Maybe throw in a few comments about fishing, and eating them, if you are knowledgeable, or even claim to be...

Rivers are as clear as mud!
Don't swim unless you have a course of antibiotics at hand.
Drink rain water (it's better)
Fishing gets some great "Bottom feeders" (Lady-boy cat fish 555)

My first time in CM, I was taken to Riverside Condo during the rainy season, and couldn't believe they were paying a premium to look at the muddy river. Are river catfish served at restaurants? I love good catfish, but have been eating mostly farm raised.
