beginner fly fishing tips?

hey everyone. some weather huh? its beautiful.today i was out practicing with my fly rod and i have had a couple problems, 1. when i am casting and making my last forward stroke the fly isnt going far at all, should i have a heavier fly on? what kinda of fly line (#, such as #6 for example) should i be using for freshwater and i want to get into saltwater too what size line for that? 2. when i am going back and forth back and forth with my rod my line is hittin gthe groung behind me, should i have my rod higher or should i be casting more forward? any other tips or information you can provide me for a beginner fly fisherman would be greatly appreciated.
