I caught my first fish a my fly rod!!!!!!

i was so excited, today i was in a local pond trout fishing with one of my friends and i brought along my brand new fly rod (i got it for x-mas but havent used it yet), so we were fishing this little cove for a while with our spinning outfits but they werent bightin the powerbait so i let it ouf there took off my shoes put the water shoes on and wadedd up to my knees so i was just doing a little fly fishing (this is the first time i have ever used this fly rod or any fly rod for that case) i had on a little blue fly that i was flinging over towards the lillys and was workin it back to me then throughing it out agian, on my 3rd swing back .... strip.. strip..see the line go out..bang got my first sunfish,i continued catching a couple of these (i know they are small but hey i am a beginner to fly fishing and it was exciting) and then ended the day with a fair sized pickeral. well i had my fun. so later on i went to wal mart and got some new flys, some poppers and wooly buggers. One question, are the flys supposed to unwind at all, because after my 2nd fish it started coming apart a little, i dont know if they are bad quality(since they did come with the outfit) or if they came apart when i got them out with my needlenoses, or what. Whats with this fly???
