I will fish it on a three fly cast with my similar flies tied with black or brown ostrich.

I ran across this fly while cleaning out my old American Fly Fishing mags. It is named for three rivers in Massachusetts.

i have only caught one Grayling in three rivers many years ago.

I hooked it in the Firehole, then it swam in both the Madison and the Gibbon before I landed it!

Beautiful fly!!!

Tying some tomorrow.

I bought 7 boxes of hooks yesterday and the inventory was still depleted with only 1 box left in inventory on one size I wanted.

Great news Bob!!
