Add beadless variations to what you already have. Sometimes it makes all the difference. Especially in pressured waters.

Do you only nymph?

Lots of nymphs and a couple jig streamers. You need some emergers and some dries. The lack of organization is infuriating, to me, but you do you. I suggest a handful of EHCs and some parachute adams.

Only nymphs? No dries, terrestrials, two streamers, egg patterns…
And only a single copy of a lot of that. Which the river gods love, because they will work, you will lose the fly, and then not remember exactly what it was.
You understand that if three flyfishers get together, they have a minimum of four opinions on anything? No two of us fish the same exact flies, even friends standing together in the same water.
Your fly box today will not be your fly box a year from now. Nor will that be your box in five years. Nor that in ten. You will try many flies, keep using some, stop using others, file many under “they catch fish but I don’t bother with them”.
So fish what you’ve got, try what people recommend, make up your own mind on every one.
