You can get erosion matting, which is netting with stray woven into it. You have to stake or pin it down, if it's in an area that will eventually be under water make sure to use all natural jute fibers, not the plastic netting with the straw in it. The plastic netting will act as a gill net for smaller fish.

The bales are a good idea (staked down) in the drainage ditches. If the ditch is wide, use 2 bakes with a 3rd behind them where the 2 bails touch. (like a brick wall looks)
