Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Shorts vs Pants for flats wading

Either work just fine.  I would wear shorts if I was exclusively wading.  I prefer pants if I am on a boat.  Personal opinion, but I wouldn't focus on trying to cover ground.

Completely personal preference. I wear pants, but the only times I've ever waded have been for part of the day and the rest was on the bow of the boat. I don't burn much either, but pants mean I don't have to worry about sunscreen at all. Plus, if I get hot, I can dip my legs in and even though they're quick dry, they stay damp longer than bare skin, so it keeps me cool longer. I wore regular boxers every time I waded the flats. The only time I went deeper than just above the knee was to get out of the boat at high tide. A good pair of flats boots will be critical though if you're expecting lots of coral.

Been dialing in my gear and clothes for a trip to the Bahamas in 3 weeks.  Question for anyone who was done any tropical flats wading:

Shorts or pants?  I plan on being covered up completely up top, but I don't easily burn and would much rather wear shorts.  Also, underneath should I wear my compression type smartwool boxer briefs?  Something different?

I've done tons of surfcasting in surf shorts, but I'm concerned about chafing while covering ground on the flats.  Any advice or insight would be appreciated.
