You're both right. It matters how much weight you have on at the time.
There is a raging debate up at the salmon river about this. New regs state that in the fly zones, the fly line MUST propel the flies and shot. This effectively outlaws "slinkys" of shot, which used to cast like an ineffective spinning rod. People think that this means you can't use shot, but that's incorrect. It's perfectly possible to execute a fly cast with quite a bit of lead.
It's all a matter of how much.
