[Haskell-beginners] Problem specifying fst in tuple from list in filter

[Angus Comber]

I can generate a tuple of (index,character) like this:
zip [0..] ['A'..'Z']

To filter on an element in the list I can do:

filter (== (0,'A')) $ zip [0..] ['A'..'Z']
 > [(0,'A')]


But that is very basic, I really want to select on index value (ie first
item in pair). How do I specify the first part of tuple:

filter (fst == 0) $ zip [0..] ['A'..'Z']

this doesn't work.

    Couldn't match expected type `(a1, Char) -> Bool'
                with actual type `Bool'
    In the first argument of `filter', namely `(fst == 0)'
    In the expression: filter (fst == 0)
    In the expression: filter (fst == 0) $ zip [0 .. ] ['A' .. 'Z']
