What kind of fly fishing are you looking to do? Mostly dry flies, nymphing, streamers, combination depending on the day?
While it can definitely be challenging catching fish on the MP, I have had a lot of success Euro nymphing. One of my favorite sections is the mile or so right below the dam. It's a lot of pocket water and doesn't get hammered quite as much as the other sections. The suggestions about fishing the Upper Provo are also good. I took my first trip up there last summer and landed a cutty, brook, brown, and whitefish all within a couple hundred yard long section. Far fewer anglers as well.
My best advice would be to get out with someone that really knows what they are doing as a few hours with an experienced fly fisherman can greatly increase your catch rates and give you tips to last a lifetime.
