Its a fishing spider (Dolomedes tenebrosus ). They are very cool spiders! I kept one as a pet for a few months once and it actally fishes! I set up a small pond for it and stocked it with fish and watched it fish.

It is the most commonly misidentified spider because it does look like a wolf spider so much. :)

I like spiders (particularly wolf spiders), but I'm also not allergic to them. ;)
