For large weighted fly take the 40 lb mono back to the center of the
reel spool. Sooner or later your not really fly fishing.

So where do you draw the line?

Except for those cases where the term is defined in the local fishing
regulations, where to draw the line for the definition of "fly fishing" is
pretty much a matter of personal preference. However, the term "fly casting"
is fairly universally restricted to a method where it is the line that is
actually cast, and the fly is simply along for the ride. Thus, under that
definition, when one is lobbing a heavily weighted fly (or combinations of a
fly and weights) and the line simply follows the terminal tackle, one is no
longer "fly casting".
