I only used the five flies in Idaho on a Wash line, something we never got to do with you however.
I do use three flies occasionally in Idaho, but basically stuck with two and two pole permit.
Sometimes more is not better.
Three for trolling or deep nymphing will definitely help you find the feeding zone.
I also like the three for rivers as in what Dave mentioned. I fish a lot of #26 and smaller dries and the fish do take them, but putting a larger fly in front is popular practice, but now you will also be able to add that nymph too.
My fav is Dry to WD40 or similar to a #26 Midge pupa (or Zebra).
Or use an indy and run a PT, Prince, Copper John, Haresear (any two) then a egg or worm.
Awe the combinations are endless, just don't forget the mess one got with two flies though, specially on windy days...[
