Good report, at least you gave it a shot and caught a few fish, I would recommend getting a 4 or 5 piece 8-9 travel rod to keep handy for when your near the ocean, you can find fairly cheap nice rods that you can just keep on hand and they stow in your luggage or just carry on the plane.
Get a good selection of saltwater flies to keep with the rod and reel and you'll be set whenever you go. I fish the ocean a few times a year and the more I do the more I am ready to move away from the trout streams and focus on the salt.
When you get the chance get to the Atlantic or Carribean and get out on the flats for some Bones' Tarpon or Permit and you may never come back to Utah. Sight fishing to those fish is the funnest thing I have ever done with a fly rod.
