Concrete mats that let the water flow over the top without eroding would be ideal. Contech makes some armorflex mats for this purpose.

You can't just set the mats on the creek bottom. You need to dig out the upstream and downstream limits and bury the ends. Contech Low Water Crossing

Good idea but a pricey solution.

I'd lay the fabric and dump 55# rip rap on it. Roll in with a dozer, then top it with 6" of 610 limestone. You could probably do that for a material cost of around 3K and have a good solid low water crossing for many years.
