Saw plenty at Chain Bridge this morning too, pretty much mid-river. Lots of them porpoising, like you say. Happens every year. I've never targeted them here. The only time I did target them in Alabama, they'd take poppers, but the hook didn't set. I do know that folks throw frayed rope.

Decided to take the day off throw legal caution to the wind and take my inflatable pontoon to roaches run/duck pond/water fowl sanctuary. Fished along the banks using everything with no success. However when I got to the out flow to the Potomac there was a lot a surface action. As I got closer I could see large slender fish breaking the surface the diving back down similar to a dolphin breach. I began casting a large clouser with no success. As I drifted closer more I could see the spotted tail of huge gar racing through the water. They were traveling in groups and were in the 24 to 36 range and as thick as a football. Needless to say I pulled my toes out of the water.
Does anyone know a fly(colors) to throw to these spawning gar? I don't think they were feeding and did not seem agressive as the approached my boat sever times.
