Some Questions as a First-Timer

I recently got into fly fishing and I am really excited about it. I took a casting course at my local fly shop and got fairly decent at it. Yesterday I went out to finally get into the water for the first time, and I lost 3 flies due to the knot coming undone. In addition to that the guys in the shop reccomended using wolly buggers with a 2x leader. I am located in Indiana. So my questions are as follows:

  1. What knot do you use to attach your flies to leaders/tippet? (I used a clinch knot, should I be using improved clinch knot, how long should the tag end be before it deters fish, do you often check on your knot?)
  2. Being located in Indiana with lakes and streams what flies should I be fishing where, and what size should the flies and tippet be?
  3. What do you wish you knew when you first started fly fishing?
  4. Any other advice?

Thank you for all your help in advance!
