Default 12 common flies advice / and a few other questions

Just took up fly fishing and have been at it for a week so far so good . learning about everything slowly as there is alot to learn.

my question is what 12 flies should i practice fishing with, i will be mostly going to small lakes or ponds to improve my skills before i hit up the rivers or streams.

i dont have a expensive set up an 8.6 rod, floating line, my 4x tappered leader which i tied with a nail knot and then put on a little glue ( knot that is ) oh and a fenwich reel.

I bought some indicators but i am not to sure on how far to put it up my leader?

Fly Fishing is a new world to me and i really hope i can figure it out any info would be great....................txs
