Some spiders in this family, particularly
fishing spiders in the genus Dolomedes,
are quite large and may have a legspread of 75 mm or more.The
Dolomedes spiders live near water; they walk on the surface of water
and dive underneath it to feed on aquatic insects and even small
fish.

The Nursery Web Spider has a distinctive eye arrangement.

Nursery web filled with hundreds of spiderlings shortly
after hatching. I could not see the momma spider anywhere.
