I would think Millcreek might be a little .....brushy, but worth a shot. I say try the Uinta's. Thousands of lakes and many with a clearing to back cast.

I was wondering if you could fly fish the community ponds or not, I guess that answers that. That would be great if you could show me some basics, just let me know when you have a chance to head out there and we can see what works, my schedule is kind of crazy, but I'll try to work something out.

Don't worry about being in peoples way. It's called combat fishing for a reason. Just go find a spot and practice casting because the better caster you are the better luck you'll have fly fishing. That's because your line will be in the water more and not undoing knots.
With that said I live in West Jordan and love teaching fly fishing to newbies so PM and I 'll meet up somewhere and give you a few pointers.

yes its legal lol to fish community ponds. If you just want a little fun most of the time if i go to kidney pond in south jordan i just use a black woolly bugger with a flasher on the tail side and strip it fast. Best time that I had experience at that pond is early morning usually 6am-10 or 11 am then later fly fishing is sorda a dead stop there.
