Been lurking on the sub for a couple months now taking input from yours guys recommendations to others, anything you think I could add to the arsenal to improve my experience? Started a couple months ago and have only caught a couple smaller browns. Any recommendations appreciated!!!

You got all the goods, just need more of each now haha
Maybe some sub surface wets like spiders, muddlers and such
Muddlers!
Prince nymph
LEECHES! If you’re in Colorado, leeches will not steer you wrong as a point fly in any water.
Duplicates!
My address and mail it to me tomorrow, please and thank you
LaFontaine caddis sparkle pupae, Polly Rosborough’s Fledermouse
Tom Thumb
White woolly bugger
More flies, always more flies
Makes it way easier to put in and take out the flies if you flip them the other way will add life to the silicone too.
Agree w/ghetto_headache – add more of each fly in some different sizes bc just when you find something is “fire” for catching fish…. you will lose a fly. I try for six each in a few sizes based upon where you fish and what type of fish you’re after.
Chubby Chernobyl and some purple haze parachute Adam’s.
I love a big parachute adams (size 10-12) as a generalist fly
More lol. I tie a thousand plus flies a year and barely keep up
Good selection. I suggest you add some smaller size midges. Zebra and red. Smaller midges are lethal for the larger trout.
Fill that empty row in the center with pheasant tails and hares ears!
Gurglers
Whatever the number of nymphs you have double it
Cone head bunny muddler size 8 in white. I call it whitey tighty after a guide called it that 🤣. Caught my biggest wild browns on it. Also Ausable Uglies have been great this time of year
I would say to add some “flashier” patterns like the rainbow warrior, the red dart, and then not necessarily a “big” streamer, but a streamer that has a taller profile than the wooly bugger. Something like a cone head muller minnow, a marabou muddler, a smoke wagon, or some craft fur on a hook with some weight.
