Those are pretty creeks regardless of the size but it does depend on where you are from and how much beer has been consumed when telling the story about the fish and the size of the creek. My Mom lives less than 1/2 mile of the Mississippi River at New Orleans, everything else around here is small. Flying by helicopter to Ft. Bliss I saw streams in west Texas that would hardly qualify as a creek back home, called rivers. But they tell me you can step over the Mississippi up in Minnesota. Gore Creek in Vail is a Gold Medal Stream and I remember you can hop across lot of it pretty easily, I would rather fish it than the Mississippi, so I don't think size matters much.
