It's possible but the reel and rod are not made to handle the stresses that monofilament fishing line will put on the gear. The drags on a fly fishing reel are not as robust as a conventional reel.

How do you spool a fishing reel?
It's pretty simple. All you gotta do is thread the fishing line of choice through the highest eye and go all the way down to the reel. Tie a knot around the reel and start reeling it in. You might want to hold it a little tight right above the reel. This helps it keep from birdnesting, or coming off the reel and tangling up really bad. Hope this helps! Southernfishing101.webs.com

Can you use a regular fishing rod for a fly fishing rod?
Yes you can and there are a few ways to do it. You can use bobber stoppers to hold a casting bubble a few feet from the fly and it will add enough weight to cast the fly (remember to use fly-floatant on the fly if you want it to sit on top of the water like a dry fly) and it can be done. It will not be AS effective as a fly rod, but it will work. For wet flies, you can drop the fly down on a swivel and use a split shot at the end of the line to bounce it on the bottom. Both ways are not as effective as using a fly rod, but it is a quick way to use flies on a normal rod and reel.
