Always a blast to get out fishing. Catching is a bonus! Had some good trips below the dam. Seems like it's always different - water levels, flows, who's "in". Impressed with the variety we've met - from Carp, Cats, Bass - Sunfish, Bluegill, Crappie, even Walleye and Brown trout (not to mention a swarm of Gizzard Shad). Wish there was a launch, and more river access!
I'm probably the wrong person to ask about flies, but that said, Logan river - if you want easy access, you can hit the dams (1st, 2nd, 3rd) for easy casting practice. Farther up you'll find more genuine fly fishing territory. I've always fancied the area up from Rick's spring before you get to the turnoff for Tony's grove. Up from Red Rocks campground before the turn to Beaver mountain also. Check the regs - I know there's a limited season (Cutt spawn?).
I think Right hand fork is still under a "kill" - not sure.
Blacksmith fork up from Hyrum also has some good fishing - but you pretty much have to get up the the Hyrum City Park, above the dam -- and beyond - to get much public access.
The lower Logan too. From the golf course on out to 10th West - has a walking trail, and with some waders - there's some good browns, big carp, and right now the suckers are on the spawn. Not sure what kind of fly a sucker goes for, but I even caught browns on a fly there.
You'd probably get more specifics (patterns and such) on the Fly board.
OSF - I'd be expecting to start bumping into you along the Bear before too long. Bet the bass and crappie are getting active. Weren't you going to Willard?
