Tasmania Police were first alerted to the man's disappearance at about 8:00am on Sunday morning.
He had last been seen by friends heading out onto Lake Burbury in a white Quintrex fishing boat at approximately 5:00pm the night before.
A search and rescue operation was established and the man's body was subsequently discovered in the water on the eastern side of Lake Burbury on Sunday afternoon. The boat has yet to be recovered.
The man's next of kin have been notified and Tasmania Police said their thoughts "are with his family and friends".
