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.
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.
