Dolomedes albineus
It's definately an immature Fishing Spider of the Genus Dolomedes. The abdominal markings are consistent with Dolomedes albineus. The prominent white tuffs that are on the legs gives further support to this conclusion as well. Here's a couple images of D. albineus from the guide, if you would like to compare:



This is my all-time favorite species of spider, by the way. ;)
