Have you looked in the ''Step by Step'' section of the flytying section on here..It might just answer most of your materials questions.

Just to point out the original cdc and elk didn't use elk so just use fine straight deer hair.

For barbless standard dries, go for the Tiemco 103BL.
For wets & spiders I'd use Kamasan B170's & just gently squeeze the barb down with pliers.
