Is this a fishing spider?
Hi,
I spotted this one while on a day trip to Ste-Adèle, Quebec, Canada. It was easily 2.5” to 3”. It was on a rock right beside a lake. I was surprised to see a spider this size in this neck of the woods!
Thanks,
Mark

Yes Mark, this is a Dolomedes Fishing Spider. Thanks for the photo.
