A search is under way for a teenager who fell off a boat into a lake on the Victoria-NSW border.

Two 16-year-old boys were fishing in a tinnie on Lake Mulwala at Yarrawonga about 9am on Sunday when they were hit by a wave and fell overboard, police said.

Two men swam to their aid and managed to pull one of the boys to shore.

However, they could not find the second teenager.

Police divers and members of the Air Wing and Victoria's State Emergency Service are searching the lake.
