OT-other-erosion control

We live in zone 6, southwest Missouri.  Does anyone have a recommendation
for a plant or plants that would work as an effective water erosion control.
This would be used in a creek bed/bank that is generally fairly dry but on
occasion can have as much as 4 - 6 feet of water in it.  The creek is about
30 feet wide with banks that gently slope inward to banks that are shear.
With the heavy rains we sometimes receive the water is slowly eating into
the banks and moving the creek.  This has been going on for many years but
it is reaching a point where some damage may occur.  We will not have a
problem with the use of invasive plants in this location because they can
only go so far.  Any ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks, Glenn
