A "fly" in this sentance is the outer cover or layer of a tent.

The fly of a tent is a part that opens out, usually in a triangle. It can act as a door, or just be an area beyond the tent, if tied up. It can also be used to refer to a "tent" made only of a single piece help above you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly_(tent) has some images that are all fly & no real tent.
