Fly Fishing Gear

On a fishing pole, how far from the hook do you put the weight(s)?

I'm out fishing right now and I'm having issues because I think the weights are set wrong. I keep getting tangled up, too. I've tried googling it and haven't found an answers, so it would be lovely if someone could help me.
(And an other tips or hints are much appreciated)

Depends on where your fishing.

Pond - 6 inches above the hook.

River - Directly above the hook.

Lake - 1-2 feet above the hook.

Rivers and ponds rock, lake fishing is boring.
