Default Pink Flies

I am looking to try and get a pink emerger or dry fly pattern. Like a shuttlecock or a simple up-winged pattern. I was wandering if you esteemed tiers help me out with some ideas on names of some flies.

The thing is my stream is over run with Himalayan Balsam and when they first start to flower the trout and the chub rise for the petals. They quickly lose interest but I thought I might experiment and see if I can induce some takes with pink.

You could try pieces of pink closed cell foam on hooks cut to shape and size.
