Hey Icthys,
Why don't you just try adapting some of the concepts to fit small streams better. Leave that darn indicator off. Shorten the pole a foot or 2 but keep it light. Use lighter weight nymphs to fit the stream. Keep or drop the 2nd fly depending on the conditions. Cast a little further upstream than you might on the bigger river to lessen the chance of spooking the fish. Sure you won't be fishing the polish nymphing technique anymore but for better or worse Utah really doesn't have all that much big water where it's best suited for.
