when using mylar..

[baseballandfishing]

how do you build a body? do you just leave the myler the way it is? I remember someone saying you can use part of a pop can to shape the body but i have no clue
thank you

for what type of fly?? - I think you may be refering to the zonker - never tied one, but understand you use zonker-tape, or magnetic peel and stick sheet, cut in the shape you want and stick the two halves together over the hook somehow, slide you mylar tubing over it and you are on your way. do a search for zonker fly patterns.
