Anglian have now updated their predator rules. Most significant is that the large lure requirement has been done away with.

The predator permit allows you to fish in accordance with the rules shown below together with any individual rules.
The check,clean,dry policy must be adhered to before and after fishing by all anglers.
All anglers must hold a valid rod licence.
No trolling under power. ( My note....this does not affect pedal power but does affect electric motors. )
All pike, perch and zander must be returned to the water alive.
Any trout caught must be returned to the water immediately, if a trout is badly hooked and has to be killed it must be handed to the fishery staff.
Flurocarbon can be used, but only with single barbless hook lures.
Where treble hooks are used, a wire trace is compulsory.
Lure size is at the angler’s discretion but must be barbless. If regularly catching trout, increase lure size or move away from that area. (Trout are not to be actively targeted).
A maximum of two rods per angler is permitted.
Bank fishing only 1st November – 14th February (lure and dead sea bait) Pitsford only.
No live baiting permitted.
Fly fishing – with fly over 10cm with wire trace from 16th May (Rutland, Grafham, Pitsford, Ravensthorpe).
Dead sea fish baits over 18cm are permitted from 1 October – 31 January (excludes lamprey).
(Rutland, Grafham, Pitsford, Ravensthorpe).
Unhooking mats and appropriate sized nets must be used.
All boat fishing rules apply.
No trout and pike fishing in the same boat.
