Plywood is a waste of time, effort and expensive material for your intended use in my opinion. Cheap rubber boots--get them half a size too large and wear with double socks (bulky wool for the outer pair) if it's really that cold--is a better investment. A mountain stream should not pose much difficulty or danger of getting "stuck ankle deep." Wait until you start probing muddy tidal sloughs for that worry!
PS: If you really have to lay down a mat to stand on, you'll find that laying down brush and branches cut on site, perhaps topped with some old carpet material, will provide surer footing than mud-coated lumber; but I would go the rubber boot route, or even hip waders.
