The small streams in Utah County can be a bit tough fishing in the winter- at least for me. Not sure which ones you're thinking about. The most productive ones for me in winter are American Fork and Thistle Creek.
Don't be afraid to throw bigger nymphs and some streamers on all those water if you want. A medium to large stonefly/pheasant tail/prince nymph works year round. In my experience they are equally productive as to smaller nymphs and scuds in winter. I fish them because I find it more enjoyable than messing with dinky flies. I've started to become every so slightly presbyopic so I might need reading glasses to tie on those small flies in the near future anyways.
