Fishing Spider
Hey Bugman. I wanted to send you this pic I snapped of a fishing spider I pulled off of my lake. She’s a beauty! My mom was freaking out….I’m not sure of the exact species, but I believe it’s a Dolomedes vittatus.

Hi Ricky,
We are inclined to think your spider is a Six Spotted Fishing Spider, Dolomedes triton. She is a gorgeous spider and one of the most aquatic of the Fishing Spiders.
