I grew up in Ogden so the South Fork of the Ogden, Blacksmith Fork, Logan, Weber, Little Bear River, Lost Creek, and any of the streams coming off the Uinta's are fun.
I used to mostly nymph fish so a hare's ear, pheasant tail, Montana nymph, prince nymph, renegade, and a San Juan worm are all good patterns to have in sizes 10 - 14.
Welcome to the fly flinger crowd. I've been doing it for close to 40 years and only wished I had found out about fly fishing at an earlier age.
Copy that, Thank you for your response. I'm 46 and can tell I'll feel the same way.
