Welcome.
Sounds like it's all pretty new to you. I clearly remember the first fish I caught on a fly I tied myself; a coastal cutthroat in a small plunge pool with a really ugly muddler minnow. I was maybe 10 or 11 at the time, so about 35 years ago.
Speaking from many years of experience (and frustration), if you can afford it, a casting lesson with a good instructor will help you develop good technique before bad habit takes hold.
Same goes with flyfishing in general; a day (or 5) with a good guide, or a flyfishing class, will help you understand trout food, the flies that represent it, and how to present them with a fly rod.
If this is just not feasible, Google is your friend. Watch all the (instructive) flyfishing videos you can, and read read read.
As they say: The tug is the drug.
