Southern Utah? Quail Lake, Scofield, Yuba and of course Powell, or are you more Provo?
Anyway, can't go wrong ANYWHERE with Woolly Buggers of all sizes and colors and that is a great place to start tying. Also, a very easy tie would be San Juan Worms and eggs (Bacon and Eggs) which are a must at one point or another. GLOW BUGS one of the first flies I was "taught" in a fly tying class I took.. Google these up for You Tubes, and they really are easy.
NYMPHS you will want to learn Pheasant Tails, Haresears, Prince Nymphs (with and without beads and with or with out flash backs) and Copper Johns in several colors with copper, Green, and Red being very important.
Dries, parachute or Wulff wing, Adams, Blue Winged Olives (BWO) Pale Morning Dun (PMD) Griffith Gnats, Caddis, Sofa Pillows and my favorite PMX.
Don't forget Midge Pupas, easy ties with thread, wire, peacock and with or without a bead (Basically Chironomids) Zebra's, Serendipity, WD40's.....
AND one fly that is a 24/7 - 365 is SCUDS or Sow Bugs.
Good luck, have fun and welcome. Trek carefully too.
