Chased Out by little bitty fish flies?

After 8 weeks and crazy spring weather and lots and lots and lots of rain.....   We have made a move to an RV park in land and 1 hour away from Erieau, Ontario.  Where there are no bugs (please God).

South Western Ontario's Lake Erie shoreline can be a beautiful destination but in the spring you need to have tolerance and patience for the wind and cool temps plus the spring fish flies.  Oh you think you know about the fish flies?  Hah, hah, ha .  That is an evil laugh!  We were both born and raised on Lake Erie so it isn't a surprise to us.   But this spring was like a swarm we have never seen before.  Little ones about the size of fruit flies.  So thick we could not see the side of our coach.  And every day they die off and a new batch is born in the lake.  They don't bite, they don't sting, they don't do anything but make you crazy trying to put up with them.  Oh and in the food chain they great source of lunch for the fresh water fish.    Well I say the perch should be pretty plump this year. 
We are out of here!!!!  Yes they win, we throw up the white flag and surrender.   This is looking out our window and look closely at the coach!
