Sorry I've been away awhile missed this thread.

Any thing you add (hard armor) to the stream will cause disturbances behind it. Natural plantings with soft reinforcment would be my way with a few hard items Ie: boulders, flatstone, logs, ect. Looking at your pictures I can't tell what the stream velocity is and can't recomond a product just from them. But NA Green has a web site that allows you to look up products and compaire them. Be carefull on plant material choices, you might be able to use wet land plants installed in a choir log along with a TRM that extends into the water to support submergent plants. I would look at extending the TRM to the high water mark and a bit beyond it.
