Do I need to prune, to force climbing?

Hello all, hoping to get some help...
A few years ago we planted athe Clematis in the picture. Last year it grew into a bush ( kinda). After the pic was taken we got about 3-4 vines climbing up the fence. It`s still dormant, and I'm wondering if I should thin out some of the stems to just leave those that are up against the fence? Or, is the plant simply young (I heard Clematis takes 3-4 years before taking off)? It's a nice plant, just wish it would climb more...
Thank you
