Dolomedes sp. That definitely is one gorgeous Fishing Spider! Virginia appears to have many of them and all of the US species. D. vitatus is the most likely answer, D. scriptus is my second guess.
This little friend was very docile and shy. For reference, that’s a 4” x 4” post so it’s was a good size. Thanks for commenting!
