Hey Daddy,
I live in Provo as well and looking outside right now it is raining. I looked at KSL weather and it predicts temps down to 37 tonight and rain tomorrow. All that likely translates to snow in the Uintas. Remember this is October.
All that said, the report is for better weather Thursday and Friday. Even so, going into the Uintas this time of year with the current weather, I would suggest staying on the pavement. That means the Mirror Lake Highway is probably your best (safest) bet. There are multiple lakes and campgrounds along the Highway including Trial, Crystal, Washington, Lost, Lilly, Teapot, Pass and Mirror. All are stocked regularly. If you are brave and want to hike a few miles, there are decent fishing lakes on the trails from the Crystal Lake Trail head.
Be careful and stay safe.
