DescriptionA WALK ALONG THE DODDER (Donnybrook to Ballsbridge) (1000151541).jpg
The River Dodder (An Dothra in Irish) rises on the northern slopes of Kippure in the Wicklow Mountains. From there it flows for some 20 km through Tallaght and the Dublin suburbs of Rathfarnham, Templeogue, Milltown, Clonskeagh, Donnybrook, and Ballsbridge before entering the Liffey at Ringsend.
The River Poddle is linked with the River Dodder as it flows through Tallaght - this link used to help with Dublin City's water supply.
To catch sea trout on this river it is best fished in September at night when the river is in spate.
There is a weir just above the bridge at Ballsbridge and the river becomes tidal roughly where the bridge at Lansdowne Road crosses it.
The Dodder and the River Tolka are Dublin's second largest rivers, after the River Liffey.
