Since you live in Utah County, I'm going to give you my 4 favorite streams to fish there in order of my preference.
1 Sixth Water- tough to access most but the first mile above 3 Forks and the section below and above Ray's Valley road isn't too bad. Can also drive off that toward Strawberry Ridge but be warned the clay makes it impassable if wet. The middle 4 miles without road access is the best fishing but it takes a lot of effort to get there and a few dozen trips to learn how to get out efficiently.
2 Diamond Fork: only the section upstream from 3 Forks and above the fish barrier was treated. It's a hit or miss stream. Nymphs generally work ten times better than dries except during the Salmonfly hatch when both work equally. Fishing can really turn on during cloudy afternoons
3 Thistle Creek: only problem is there's less good access than in the past
4 American Fork , don't expect any 20 + inch fish ever but still can be a lot of fun.
