A body has been found in the search for a missing teen who fell off a boat while fishing at a lake on the Victoria-NSW border.

No formal identification has taken place but police believe it is that of the missing 16-year-old.

The boy and a friend were fishing in a tinnie on Lake Mulwala, at Yarrawonga, when they were hit by a wave and thrown overboard on Sunday morning.

A good Samaritan managed to bring one boy to shore using a flotation device but could not find the other.

The body was found in the lake at about 6.30pm on Thursday, four days after he was last seen.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.
