Dolomedes albineus
This is an adult male White-banded Fishing Spider (Dolomedes albineus). Here's a couple images from the Guide for comparison:


Dolomedes yes, tenebrosus no.
This is indeed a fishing spider, but probably not D. tenebrosus. That said, would need to do some research to decide exactly which species it matches:-) The good news is that we have most (all?) species represented in the guide pages already.
