Tippet connects to the leader then to the fly. Reason is you attach a leader, then attach 12" or more tippet to the end. You can now (and trust me you will) change out flies several time. By the time you hit the knot connecting tippet to leader, time to tie on more. A leader can last a whole season doing this. You need the taper of the leader to turn over the fly properly.
Try asking the specialty shop what flies (BASIC) you will need to target the species you want so you are not buying a bunch that will not produce.
Oh, and to attach tippet to leader, a Triple Surgeon's Knot is easiest, or a blood knot if you have the tool and the time.
