Started fly fishing this year. I still haven't caught anything besides trees, lol. Anyways these are the flies I have. Does anyone have any other suggestions for catching trout in WNC? I know trout like cooler water so I'm guessing I'm gonna have way better luck in fall than I'm having now.

You should look into what dry flies are in the area and go out for the last 2hrs of the day to walk the rivers and see if you find rises, that’ll tell you where the fish are. Then throw dries at them, working on your technique for a drag free drift. I don’t really see any there in the box except for the top 3 in the second row and those are likely too big at the end of the summer, since things trend smaller as the season rolls on.
Do you get bites at all and lose them, or just no bites? I’d do some youtube research for how to find trout / read a river.
How are you fishing now, specifically? Where?
Once you figure out which of those work for you, I suggest never having just one in the box. If you do, the river gods will cause you to immediately lose it.
My boxes tend to have dozens of copies of a very few patterns rather than one copy of a bunch of different things.
Agree with previous comments. Just want to add those boxes are designed to hold the flies sliding them in hook bend first. Ruined a nice fly box once, don’t want to see anyone else repeat my mistake
