half right, one can use bead eyes on flies, but one cannot put shot on the leader. from the reg book:

"Fly Fishing Only In “Fly Fishing Only” waters,
an angler may use only the following tackle: up
to 2 flies, each with a barbless single-point hook,
not to exceed ˝" from point to shank, and a
conventional fly line (other line may be used for
backing or leader if attached to at least 25 feet of
fly line). Anglers may not use fixed spool reels,
bait, or weight attached to the leader or line.

Only knotless nets may be used to land fish."[u][/u]
