Rangersedge,
This may sound like a wacky idea, but if you already have a good sized dip net how bout buying a couple of those plastic scrub things that people use in the shower. If you take them apart you will get a 8" tube about 15' long with tiny holes in it. Some creative folding and liberal use of a stapler and you can turn this into a basket of sorts. Take this "basket and staple the edges over the rim of your dip net and bingo you have a dip net with very small holes that you should be able to rein in the 1 inch fish.
