Default Hair Wings

I'm trying to tie up some small patterns with calf tail wings. I'm
having trouble getting the wings dense enough on the small flies. I
tried hand stacking and using a stacker. This works fine for larger
flies but not for the little ones. Any suggestions?

Have you tried calf body hair? That packs more densely than the tail hair
because of the straight fibres.
