Our "Friend" the Washington State Ferry
I wasn't kidding about the Flies in "Fly Bay"
Note the lack of branches on this side of the island
We went to anchor in the islands outside of Duncanby Landing with the intentions of visiting family friends at their Fish Camp "Black Gold" - it is late (7:00 pm) and there is a boat in the only safe anchorage around. We made the decision to go and try Smith Inlet which is on our way down and not a place we have frequented much in the last bunch of boating forays upcoast. After consulting the charts, we decide on Fly Cove on the south side of Smith Inlet. We arrived around 9:00 pm and anchored in the bay with another boat already inhabiting the bay. No time for exploring but the bay is aptly named. We awoke in the morning to our boat covered in flies????.....The area is worth exploring some more on our next trip and perhaps we will have the answers to the questions we asked ourselves last night - Why are there no fish camps in here? The head of Smith has the third largest Sockeye run in BC and we are sure there must be other species of fish in the area? - we do not often hear of people coming in here and the "Book" does not elaborate too much on this area - perhaps it is drive by for most boaters and not a destination?
