Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 This is a Long-jawed Orb-weaver, Tetragnatha sp..

What’s a Stick Spider? I need a scientific name to know what you’re referencing. Google tells me you might be referring to what I would call an Ogre-faced or Net-casting Spider (Deinopidae). An easy tell are that the mouth parts are very different. There’s only one species of Ogre-faced Spider in North America (Deinopsis spinosa), and this doesn’t look like it, see how much bigger the chelicerae (jaws) are on yours?
